I previously asked the question of how I could get the Portable to do something
 ike run a program or make a sound when it wakes up by virtue of a timer
interrupt or the phone line ringing. The only response I got was a suggestion
to use SET STARTUP .... I suppose this does do what I asked for although
it isn't what I was looking for in that I don't want the machine to have to
reboot when it awakens (I wanted to have it come out of SLEEP mode).
However better a reboot than    nothing. My question now is this: is there
a program (or Xcmd or whatever) which would enable me to set a new wakeup
time after the machine turns on, does something and shuts itself
down?
