Exactly. ALL queues and flags get loaded at runtime. The dopes here
call it software. I call it a fucking menu instruction.

However... the HARDWRAE on the player CAN be made to apply user
command operations REGARDLESS of loaded menu instructions that are
contrary to such operations, just as you state.

There is no reason for this to be "not doable", even on ANY current
player. A firmware hack, or even simpler method should be approachable,
and if the demand were there, it would already be done...

Let show some demand! Make this thread last for years. These groups
need a little livening up!
