Walter,

What I am attempting ot accomplish is display the seconds in the same box on 
the system tray that the rest of the time is displayed.  I want to be able 
to do this so that I can use this for some timing things that I need to do. 
Using the seconds display in the time and date window does not serve this 
purpose.

David, I had to go and do it before I could tell you.

Go to control pannel, press d for date and time, press enter, you will land 
on the property page, and tab to seconds,
and since I can hear them with speech, I would think that should display the 
seconds also in braille.  Now, if I want to
hear them go by when I want to set a clock, I just turn my screen echo to 
all, and hear them go by.
