The run command works exactly as hoped...the system wakes from sleep to run the selected scheduled tasks and then promptly returns to sleep state.
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
If any one has an interest, he expanded the task library under Windows in the left side bar of the scheduler, clicked a task to display it, right-clicked the task information in the top panel of the screen, selected "properties" >> "actions" >> "new", entered rundll32.exe in the "script" window and the remainder of the command in "arguments". (The entire command can also be entered in "script" and the answer "NO" selected for the dialog that appears.) The run command will now appear as an additional action in the task and will be executed after the task has been run.
