No, pressing the Enter key generates a hard return. A soft return is
one that is generated by the program, and not visible as a code. The
[l] code generates a conditional hard return, which means that it
causes a line break only where appropriate. So, for example, two [l]
codes in succession will generate only one line break. Similarly, an
[l] code will do nothing if it comes at the bottom of a page. If you
want more than one hard return, you have to enter the [<] code for as
many line breaks as you want, or use the [sk] code with a number,
such as [sk1] (skip one line).

Just pressing Enter on the PC is a soft return; that's what makes
the less than sign in Duxbury when you have the codes revealed. A
hard return is when you really do want to go to a new line; the code
for that is CTRL-L. The old WordPerfect codes called it HRT. It
forces a new line.
