David,
  I don't think your program will do anything except test the error message
generator.  Have you checked it out?
  First, I think ,in the TRS-80 BASIC command POWER nn, nn has to  be a number
not a string variable.
  Second, I believe the POWER nn command is to turn the machine's power off if
no keyboard action has occured for nn time-counts  (not seconds because POWER
150 is goo for either 10 or 15 minutes.) I don't think it can turn the power
ON.
  Correct me if you've found something new.  I'm always open to the hidden
secrets of TRS-80's.
