I usually just pull out a battery for a second.  Note that the RCX draws
very little power when turned off, and thus can retain memory for a
while even without any batteries (cacitance on the power supply rails
hold the RAM for a while).  A good work-around is just to make sure the
unit is turned on before you yank a battery, then it will be in a higher
power consuming mode and a second or two without batteries should be
sufficient to wipe memory.
