Good news.  Thanks Greg, Pillo, Carsten and Iebele, for the info. 
Iebele, for the record, your tip would not help me because what I am 
looking to do is to put my laptop in a bag and take it to/from work. 
When you close the lid, it automatically goes to sleep.  So I was really 
interested in seeing what affect sleep mode has on an ongoing 
calculation, not so much  how to avoid causing my computer to go to 
sleep.  Thanks for the info though!

P.S.
I'm approaching my one year anniversary with my PowerBook, and I'm still 
very much in love.  OSX is really an amazing OS (which is to say, UNIX 
is amazing).  Coming from the underpriviledged world ruled by Bill 
Gates, I'm constantly amazed by the depth of UNIX; that Apple was able 
to build UNIX into a more user-friendly OS is indeed a godsend for 
people like me.

Happy New Year, to all the photon wranglers on the Radiance-General list!
