Thanks. the script works but it only allows me to read the terminal screen 
while the system locks up :-(. I guess the answer is back to ACPI and try to 
resolve the VMWare problem. This install has been very problematic, wireless 
is a little flakey (I have to configure it each time I start up), I get 
frequent system hangs when using Yast CC, requiring power downs to recover. I 
suppose this would be a good ad for MS and Windows. Other than a few minor 
glitches, the Dell Workstation with SUSE on it has been rock solid. I am a 
little frustrated with the T'pad, if I hadn't sprung bucks for the spare hdd, 
I would be tempted to give up. Hey, never say that Lou ..

Thanks again for the help.
