Many thanks to Walter Smith for hacking out Sleep.  But there seems to
be a problem in that the DRVR does not seem to get released from the
heap when the mouse is clicked.  A quick check of the heap whild in
an application shows a non-purgable non-relocatable block a litle
over a couple K bytes remains after sleep wakes up.  If someone
has a clue, this could solve some of the problems others were having
running sleep with calendar, etc.

BTW, I have modified the source just a little to make the apple smoothly
bounce around within the bounds of the screen, like a bouncing ball..
this actually makes the code a little smaller since Random() doesn't
need to be called.. but this is a matter of personal preference.

Thanks again Walt, good job!
