Ouch!  Sorry about that.  I have posted a follow up message.

I have never used ACPI wakeup and Mythwelcome, so I do not know what
effect the above commands have on it.  I would have thought that
having to type in a password would have made the ACPI code
non-functional and my helper scripts might make it work again, but I
do not actually know if the ACPI code uses those settings or has some
other way of doing shutdowns.
