   If you want something "off-the-shelf" then check out PC Magazine's
DOS Powertools book. Has a program called WARMBOOT.COM that will do
exactly what you want. Also has COLDBOOT.COM to simulate a power-off

reboot.

   If you want to do-it-yourself, any good BIOS reference or PC
tech reference will give you the necessary information. I probably
have it somewhere around here, but its likely buried under a lot of
garbage and I'm too laze to look...:-)
