Tim,
Will this work? I don't think so. I am told that LWP's own alarm will
overrule mine, so that this will not work at all.
But, I'm a little vague on that point. In any event, when I tried this,
some months ago, it didn't seem to help. If you think I am mistaken
about the conflict of alarms, then I will go back and revisit the issue.
