System Power Management will wait for the APM calls be-
fore it enters a software power management mode.
Note: If the APM is installed and there is a task running, the
APM will not prompt the BIOS to put the system into
any of the power management modes even if the APM
timer is out.
Normally, the APM is installed in the DOS and Windows
systems by loading the device C:\DOS\POWER.EXE file
in CONFIG.SYS. In Windows 95, enable Power Manage-
ment before installing the operating system or the Win-
dows 95 APM may not work.
