Try C-h k RET or C-h k SPC to see what is bound to those keys. You can also try running lisp expressions using the --eval or -l command-line options to emacs.
C-h k RET ET (translated from <return>) runs the command newline which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'. It is bound to RET. (newline &optional ARG) Insert a newline, and move to left margin of the new line if it's blank. If `use-hard-newlines' is non-nil, the newline is marked with the text-property `hard'. With ARG, insert that many newlines. Call `auto-fill-function' if the current column number is greater than the value of `fill-column' and ARG is nil. C-h k SPC SPC runs the command self-insert-command which is an interactive built-in function.
