  For all those DESQview gurus out there, is anyone aware of an alarm
clock utility that can not only sound alarms but also execute a DESQview
script? There are utilities for sounding alarms, and others for running
programs in a separate window. Is there on which does both? For example,
written several Telix scripts to dial into bbs's and transfer mail. I'd
like to do this late at night, while I sleep. Set an alarm for, say, 2 am
and DESQview opens a window, starts Telix, transfers mail, then exits when
the transfer is finished. Is this just a pipe dream? Or does such a
utility already exist?
