so close... the script now works when i run it from a console- it pauses and
when i switch to the X display, the xmessage is there.  but when the apm
event triggers it, it still doesn't show.  yet the logger command works.
the echo command may not, i'm not sure.

anyway, i put "export DISPLAY=:0.0" in the script, and that has at least
taken me one step in the right direction.  now if only it would work when
the system ran it....
