Yes, sadly my web search result omitted FDAPM, it seems to work well 
here, like DOSidle does and it takes only 1K of RAM despite of DOSidle 
that it takes 3K of RAM.

So, is there any drawback to add that line (FDAPM /apmdos) together the 
other lines related to FDAPM that already exist in FDAUTO.BAT?
...
alias reset=fdisk /reboot
alias reboot=fdapm warmboot
alias halt=fdapm poweroff
...

Maybe "FDAPM /apmdos" is not included as default because it can slow 
down some application, am I correct?
