What does the Japanese word for ENTER look like? I do not have any
asian character sets in my browser, so I would prefer a large gif or
jpeg of the word.

Hi twiddler-ga, 
 
This website will allow you to enter words or phrases in English and
the results will be shown to you in Japanese.

Almost all words and phrases lose some sort of meaning through
different language translations, and sometimes it can be difficult to
translate exact words. The word 'enter' can be used in different
contexts, and this site will give you several examples.
 
I used the Google search engine and the keywords &amp;quot;english, japanese,
translation&amp;quot;
 
I hope you find this information useful! 
 
Sincerely,

P.S. I just want to clarify that you do not need to have the Asian
character text sets downloaded to view the results.  

they did not give a good answer. I asked for a gif or jpg and they
gave me a crappy translation site that does not meet my needs. This is
not the answer I need...here is what I see

sorry, but I cannot read that. This is why I need a gif or jpeg of the
answer. When I use that site I get

There are a variety of possible meanings for Enter, such as, "to enter
a building" or "to enter data". Depending upon which meaning you are
seeking, the Japanese word varies. Here is a listing of possible
meanings with the Japanese word as well as a link to a gif showing the
Japanese characters.

One of these should be the exact definition of enter that you are
looking for. If not, please utilize the Request Answer Clarification

Japanese.

thank you for clarification

gummi -- Which browser are you using to get Japanese characters?  If I
use Opera 6, I get a bunch of rectangles, while in IE6, I see a bunch
of strange characters that don't have anything to do with Japanese.

Contrary to what gummi-ga says, the referenced web pages are encoded
with charset=euc-jp and do (for Internet Explorer) require the
Japanese character set to be downloaded.

One possibility is http://dict.regex.info/cgi-bin/j-e/dict. The site
took some experimentation to figure out how to use. One clue is to set
the color of the Kanji to something other than white since the default
seems to be white on white, which doesn't show up.

As to the actual answer to your question, it seems to depend a lot on
just what you mean by "ENTER".

If you mean Enter like the keyboard key,
http://dict.regex.info/cgi-bin/j-e/fg=r/jap/%c6%fe%ce%cf%a5%ad%a1%bc?TR
is a picture of it, and the word is pronounced "nyuurokukii" or
"nyuuryokukii".

If you meant some other kind of enter,
http://dict.regex.info/cgi-bin/j-e/dosearch?sDict=on&sCompu=on&H=PW&L=E&T=enter&WC=none&fg=r&S=26
contains a list of meanings for enter, the appropriate Romanji
(Japanese spelled using A-Z), and a link to an image of the
characters.

http://www.rut.org/cgi-bin/j-e/dict is Jeffrey's dict server for
browsers with graphics but no Japanese character sets. Have fun! =)

http://www.rut.org/cgi-bin/j-e for more information.

ENTER written in all caps sounds like the question asker is asking the
name of the "ENTER" key on a keyboard.
This is called the 'nyuuryokukii' but when Japanese think about the
action the key does, they just think 'nyuuryoku'.
Chinese Characters literally mean "put in" and "power" - meaning
"enter", "entry" (as in data entry), etc.
