calling 4078 does put it in permanent alpha lock.  i use this in drugwars.
just to confirm that it works on your calculator, write a program on the calc
with the syntax:

:Asmprgm
:CD7840
:C9

then execute it.  if it puts you in alpha-lock, everything works fine.
otherwise, maybe you have a different rom version.  i know calling 4078 works
on rom 1.2.
what rom do you have?
