When in ANY MENU selection, if you press [DISP] you'll get a terse HELP
discussion of the current functions and it's default setting. Won't take you
back to where you were, BUT it WILL at least allow you to easily find the
starting point again.

You could place that function on one of the (2, if I recall) available PFx
(programmable functions) keys.
