Hmm, actually, after the first time, you shouldn't need to hit Enter at all.  
The "dosemu" script prints this:

~~~~
   DOSEMU will run on _this_ terminal.
   To exit you need to execute 'exitemu' from within DOS,
   because <Ctrl>-C and 'exit' won't work!

   Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel
~~~~

and creates "stamp-dosemu" the first time it runs.  Next time, it skips the 
message if it finds "stamp-dosemu".

So what exactly is being printed before you have to press Enter?  What version 
are you using?
