Hi Andy,
I want to avoid using the plugin if possible because you can't just enter info
into there. You have to select the date, then the actual time for the sleep
timer to go off and selection is done by combo boxers and the like. But like I
mentioned, all I want to happen is just hit a keystroke, enter in a time like
2:00:00 and then once I hit enter, in two hours time, my event will fire off
whatever commands I have specified in the script. that's it.

Ah, if all you want to do is use the Foobar plug-in, why not write a JAWS
script to grab the current time, add two hours to it, open the plug-in dialog
and type in the relevant information. Then JAWS doesn't need to handle the
timing part, Foobar can do it itself. Just a thought. But then perhaps you
have other uses for this kind of thing as well, so a complete JAWS sleep timer
may be what you want.
Cheers,
Andrew.
