Hi George,

You might remember that I mentioned I had the same monitor wakeup problem
with a Morfit program. The C version of that program had no problems but the
Eu port would prevent the computer from waking up.

I mention it again because my Eu program did not use system_exec(),
shellExecuteEx() or anything like that. However, I did use get_key() to do a
simple program exit. Your
comment regarding "losing focus" has got me wondering if that was my
problem. An open console screwing up the wakeup? As a matter of interest do
you have an open console anywhere? The Eu doc for system_exec() says
"system_exec() does not start a new DOS shell." so I suspect not but I
thought I would mention it.

Good luck!

Mark
