evil conflicts in c-mode

Sun Dec 4 22:38:57 CET 2011

Hello,
I am an emacs newbie with vim background,

return key in N mode works alright for plain text files such as a text
file called temp.

but in a c++ file for example temp.cpp, it is described as (newline-and-indent)

I did c-h k return to find it out.

Is this a desired behavior in c-mode? is there anyway to disable this
behavior? in vim normal mode, return shouldn't do anything.

Thanks for any help!

Jim.
