I just verified that both of these work.  I'll fix the API for the next
NQC release, but in the meantime, you can always add the following
functions to your Scout programs:

void SetSleepTime(const int t)   { asm { 0xb1, t }; }
void SleepNow() { asm { 0x60 }; }

They behave identially to their counterparts for the RCX and Cybermaster.

In general, I find I just use the NQC command to set the sleep time
(with -sleep) rather than creating a special nqc program for the rcx to
do it.

(...) You know, I tried that. It didn't work. But then I'm using my new editor (that I'm working on) and had forgotten to set the brick type with EACH command to NQC. I only had it set to compile/Download. So the scout wouldn't be 'unlocked' until I (...) (24 years ago, 30-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

(...) What other features will work? The BatteryLevel() one? I think we need to have a look at the rcx2 commands and see what's working for the Scout. Also, what does the Scout API include with the program? I know in the RCX it turns all motor ports (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)
