I do pause every time to remember that the white key (left shift) is the one that replaces the variable contents with level 1 of the stack. So far I've only overwritten one program unintentionally by getting this wrong. Being able to save and recall this way really facilitates writing programs in stages and debugging.

I find it easier to remember which shift key to use if I mentally picture all objects as being stored in a physical location to the upper left of the calculator. If I use left-shift, I'm storing the variable to that "location", and if I use right-shift, the variable's contents get "pulled to the right" onto the stack.

Sounds like a silly way to remember it, but it works for me.
