Applescript --> Sleep

Can anyone help me with this? Its a pretty simple question, but I've looked all over and can't find an answer. I'm trying to write an applescript that will wait x minutes, and then put the computer to sleep. Any ideas? thanks

set A to display dialog "How many minutes do you want to wait before sleep?" with icon note buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK" default answer ""
set A to the text returned of A
try
set A to A as number
on error
error "This is not a number."
end try
delay (A * 60)
tell application "Finder"
sleep
end tell

(12)

For some reason, when ever I run this, it brings up an error: "The variable sleep is not defined"

thanks

Is this a workaround for the OS 9.1 Insomnia that seems to be plaguing so many of us? I'm being driven insane.

The sleep command needs to be inside the tell block to work. If it still doesn't work, replace sleep with «event fndrslep».

(13)

It keeps bringing up an error that says:

"Finder got an error: Can't continue <<event fndrslep>>"

I have tried this both in X and in 9, but to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks again.

got something for it, but now i'm at school working on pc http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/frown.gif
gonna write it down from my computer (the program has a stop process button too). I use it when i go to bed, but don't want to stop music yett.

hi, I found it, here it comes:

--how many minutes
set antw to display dialog ("time in minutes till activation sleep mode") default answer ("10")

set tijd to (text returned of antw) as integer

--stop proces possibility
set a to display dialog {"proces started"} buttons {"stop"} giving up after (tijd * 60)

if gave up of a is true then
tell application "finder" to sleep

end if
--made by caifara

/the end
it works for me, hope it works for you too, let me know something
