That looks  more like it.  I was thinking of using a 1PxT rotary switch, 
but with these ICs it looks like I need 2PxT, to switch one each of the row 
and column inputs.  But that raises another possibility - might I be able 
to use a keypad of some sort, with a latching buffer, to provide the 
required 4-digit codes?
