Hi Tom.

I wonder if there is something that can be done with the JAWS Frame Manager
to frame the time readout and then set it to be silent.  Rather than
playing with the window size which doesn't always like to stay put, I
wonder if this might solve your problem.

Unfortunately, I don't have the software here to play with, or else I would
give it a shot myself and do a write up on it.
