Editrol PCR Question`

I have a PCR-800.  I have a question regarding the setting of a pad on the unit and how to recall that setting when the keyboard is in DNAP or V-Control mode.
 
So - I have the KB working in ACT mode for the few things I actually use - like th transport buttons and wheel and the master fader.
 
I have a button that I have programmed for the purpose of midi remote control - in this case I have the KB set so that this button/pad sends midi note c0 at a velocity of 1.  Great - it works.
 
Until I power off the unit.
 
I have the same settings saved in the PCR internal memory so that the same pad does the same thing, but it just doesn't seem to "hold" this setting when I switch over into Cakewalk mode.
 
I realize that this is not technically a Cakewalk problem, but I purchased it when Rolad OWNED Cakewalk and Edirol and it seems that the V-Link/DNAP button ONLY has a purpose in Cakewalk (Sonar) and no other programs, so I figured I'd ask if anyone here has any ideas on this.
 
It's not that I power this down that often, or that it's really that difficult to put the setting back to this, but it seems that it should save - and what if I cam e up with 10 other non-ACT settings I want to save into it - what then?
 
Looking forward to any thoughts anyone might have on this.
