OK! I did that, and everything was AOK for 24 hrs. Then I rebooted, 
walked away from the iBook for a few minutes and it was sleep-jammed 
again!
So ... what can one do about OS X "extensions"? I haven't even booted 
into OS 9 once with the iBook, so it isn't an OS 9-type extension 
that's causing this.
I *do* use Mozilla, and I did d/l a couple shareware programs, none of 
which I'm using. Otherwise it's pretty much the bundled software.
So do I need to toss 3rd party apps until my iBook learns how to nap 
properly?

Haven't tried this yet, but I will soon.
Thanks for the help,
