Thanks.  We thought that was a pretty neat trick.  Another neat thing is
Notification stuff (the flashing Apple menu icon say with PrintMonitor, 
Alarm Clock DA, or E-mail programs).  If a program uses this, AD 2.0 will
first wake up, then when it goes back to sleep it will scroll a message
across the top of the screen along with the icon that is blinking in the
Apple menu.  This saves the screen while still alerting you that the Mac
wants your attention.
