Re: Is there a more succinct way to say this?

That works for me, especially if you are looking to make it a standard
string through single sourcing or a reusable snippet. Just make sure
that wherever there is an OK button, that it already has focus, otherwise,
there may be an OK button, but pressing Enter gives a different result.
