Thanks for the info.  It got me on the right track.  It seems to depend on which method is used to simulate mouse or keyboard.
Here is what I found out:
Moving the mouse with SetCursorPos(x,y);   does not wake up the display
Moving the mouse with   Mouse_Event(MouseEventF_Move,100,100,0,0);     does wake up the display
Simulating the Keyboard with PostMessage(progname, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_F5, 0);  does not wake the display
Simulating the Keyboard with Keybd_Event(VK_Shift,1,0,0);  does wake up the display
