Of course if you do the No.Reset at any time then the camera goes back to 100_PANA and starts its life all over again.

No, "No. reset" always steps to the next folder unless the current folder is empty.

I have been caught out by this empty folder "feature" before - viz: I copied all the files from nnn_PANA to my PC, deleted all the images in nnn_PANA then did a "No. reset" thinking to step on the file names to nnn+1_PANA, but no the camera didn't step the folder and images were stored with nnn_PANA file names duplicating those on my PC.

I still use MSDOS occasionally (running under Windows) for stuff like this, batch files can be very powerful and time saving, also the reason I still use Irfanview.
