Exiting hypertext

I'm giving Amaya another go and am quite pleased with version 10. However, I 
thought I remembered that when in a hypertextual mode/region, I would hit 
<enter> to resume normal text, but this does this and creates a new element 
(e.g., p, li, etc.); then I have to go back and delete that. What is the 
easy way when typing to stop a hypertextual region?
