Alternative on the 41CX: Tapping ON while holding down the ENTER key performs a system interrupt without erasing memory. Sometimes that's useful for recovering from a bad crash.

The latter procedure (Joe Horn variant) worked. Once... After turning the 41CX off, well I needed to eventually, it froze again. Sigh.
