Tell the monitor to go to sleep but leave the everyhing else on. Both OS 9.x and 10.x can do this (maybe not 10.0.x; I don't remember the Energy Saver control panel from that version well enough to say).

the HD can't go to sleep when you're writing something on her.
cna i put the settings to "never" for sleep, and the display to "15 minutes" and have the HD continue to work w/the monitor off?

No, it won't. Most likely the monitor has gone to sleep, which you mistook for the computer being asleep.
sleeping = hard drive off, CPU inactive, and just a little bit of power to the RAM to keep data from disappearing.
