Nice idea Brian, a kind of senior interlock.

Meanwhile, I've taken the very simple but surprisingly effective measure of colouring the V->M
button red with a marker pen.  I now think twice before pressing it.  Usually.

I've also managed to delete the contents of a memory accidentally, more than once, by trying to
escape from the memory entry mode having ignored the red.  Hitting the CLR button doesn't just
cancel the memory entry mode, it clears the memory, as it is supposed to do according to the manual.
Maybe the K3 should require a double-press or hold of the CLR button to clear a memory?  

73 & merry Christmas all,
