Ted,

Try POWER "19:"+RIGHT$(STR$(I+100),2)+":00","05/14/91",FOO.BA

And if that doesn't work, consider

    1) priming the type-ahead buffer with a command that you build.  See CHANGE.BA in the
        Tandy 100 archives for a fragment of code to do this.

    2) writing a text file containing
	10 POWER etc
        then execute the text file by RUN"filename.DO".

    3) giving up and buying some NiCd cells and a small solar panel.
