There is a program around in Australia written by a friend of mine,
Richard Bennett, called ILTS (I Like These Settings).
It is freeware, and would probably solve your problems.
I believe it sits on block 1 of a ProDOS disk (otherwise unused) and
possibly a data file as well (I don't think so). 
Anyway, if you hold down both apple keys on boot it will restore all
settings to those previously saved - (express load could be a problem?).
He carries a 3.5" with ILTS installed and immediately boots with it
when he wants to use another GS.

If you can't get hold of it, I'll see what I can do about getting you
a copy or at least his phone/address or something - let me know.
He has just had a request from some school to remove the apple keypresses,
looks like students are the same the world over.

I think I have seen an ADB attachment that will intercept oa-ctrl-esc
as well.
I don't know where but I'm sure I didn't invent it. It is of course a
hardware solution and would cost you money.
Maybe it is even an Apple replacement cable just for schools?
