That's funny, on my MacIIcx, when I select sleep from the special menu,
Pyro 4.0 blanks my screen.  Hmmm...now how do you suppose those Pyro
people managed to hack the portable menu to suit their uses???

Seriously, the menu with sleep in it is added by Pyro 4.0.  Obviously,
you copied a finder that belongs with a system that once had (or has)
Pyro installed.

I believe that the portable's 'sleep' is actually a DA called battery
that performs as if it should be called sleep, but I guess Fifth Generation
Systems had the copyright on sleep.

Hope this clears things up.
