But, how can I get back to memory 0 on the TMV71A, since it's not on my
memory list?
In other words, is there a way to access or resurrect memory 0, even though
it's not on my current memory list?
If so, I'll do what you say, and mannually put something in there just to
fill it, rather than going back to the software and trying to re-design
things.
