Locked out---Dead Battery (archive)

Okay, my battery is dead and I'm locked out. I've tried the turning the key and lifting the door handle to no avail. I can open the trunk with the key, but that's it.

I've hear that it might be possible to use a coat hanger to pop the hood and then jump a battery to get the locks working.

Anyone have experience with this? Oh, it's an 89 750iL.. and I can see my bently book sitting in the back seat.
