I pulled a command scheduler called AT.COM by Bill Frolik from the net.
Its usage is AT [ ? | -num | [+]time [date] DOS command line ]

        where   ? shows currently scheduled events,
             -num deletes a scheduled item,
             date is the month and day to fire a command,
             time is either time-of-day or [+] a relative time.

The program only works at the command prompt--not while other programs are 
executing.  You might find it at wuarchive.wustl.edu.  If not drop a line
and I'll send it to you.
