Well, I don't know if there's a way to protect the memory from a reset, but here's one little trick
that a student showed me last year on the TI81:
In the manual it says that when you change the batteries, that you wipe out all the programs.
This is true if you take out all the batteries and then put in all the new ones.  However, if you
make the replacements one at a time, the three batteries provide just enough juice to keep the 
programs intact!
