Same disconcerting feeling going from W95 to W98...Under Start>Shut Down choose Standby, and you'll get Stand By (rather cerebral observation, eh?) where the Lib will write the current config to RAM and then go to sleep. Pressing the power buttton for a few seconds (beep) will resume the Lib from Standby. For hibernation, it sounds like the settings in your Power Management>Advanced are already set to hibernate "When I Press the Power Button on my computer". So, to hibernate in W98 press the power button and hold for a few seconds, as you observed. As for Standby, press the power button for a few seconds to resume from hibernation. The low-battery hibernate is controlled in Power Management>Alarms. You can specify the warning and action at 2 battery conditions.
