GC>Hi Fred/Raymond:
GC>Creating a small .COM file to reboot your system is pretty easy,
  >...  To make a simple reboot .COM file just
  >do the following from the command line:
GC>copy con reboot.com
  >HPS(alt+203)F6
GC>Note:  The Alt+203 means hold down the Alt key and press 2 + 0 + 3
  >on the numeric keypad and release the Alt key (do not use the
  >numbers at the top of the keyboard).  ASCII character 203 looks like
  >a double lined "T" graphics character.
GC>This will produce a small REBOOT.COM file (4 bytes) which will
  >reboot your computer when called.  You could even make this file
  >using WP's ED.EXE...
GC>Hope this helps!
Gary,  Thanks for your time and suggestion!  I've never even heard
of being able to do what you suggest, so I'm learning a lot of new
stuff.  If I have to go this route, it'll make me lot like a 'puter
expert, sure 'nuff! :)
