[TenTec] scratch pad feature in Omni VI

I have never used the memory or scratch pad features in my Omni VI+. Tonight I decided to try out the scratch pad.
I stored a frequency in the scratch pad and then moved to a different frequency. I pushed  m>vfo and brought up the frequency that I stored. Up to now all is well and good.
Lets assume that the frequency in the scratch pad is a DX station that I want to monitor and try to get when the time is right. The frequency that I moved to is one that I am calling CQ. So when I go to the scratch pad freq I want to return to my CQ frequency. 
Other than turning the VFO to get back to the CQ frequency,  I have not figured out how to return.  Is there something that I am missing here?
If there is not a quick return path, this is totally useless.
Does anyone use this fearure?  I know that I can do this using VFO A and VFO B but that should not  have to be the way to do it.

Thanks 73 Paul K9OT
