Karl, thanks for your suggestion. On my Debian system, 'at' seems to be
its own package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude show at 
Package: at
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 3.1.8-11
Priority: important
Section: admin
Maintainer: Ryan Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Uncompressed Size: 209k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), mail-transport-agent
Description: Delayed job execution and batch processing
 At and batch read shell commands from standard input storing them as a
job to be scheduled for execution in the future. 
 
 Use 
 at    to run the job at a specified time
 batch to run the job when system load levels permit

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

I guess my next step is to write to the package maintainer or author,
even though I try to avoid writing to an individual to ask questions
like this.

Thanks, again, for your help and advice.

-Kevin

    Can anyone suggest the proper mail list to ask questions regarding
the
    'at' batch commands? 

I am not sure if there is any GNU version of `at' yet.  You should be
able to use whatever package commands your system uses to discover what
package it belongs to, and then the package information should tell
where it came from.  For instance, on my Red Hat system, rpm -qli 
gives a bunch of information about it.  (It seems RH itself might have
written it; not sure.)

HTH,
karl
