Once upon a time, I believe the jaws basic training had an example on
how to create a frame around the clock in the system tray to silence
that area. I have no idea if this is still included in the basic
training or available as aaanother training module. Maybe Mr.Eric
knows the answer to that.

Hello Dan,
While I haven't done this in a very long time, you are correct
about using frames to silence parts of the screen. Well, it worked
in much earlier versions of JAWS anyway.
I don't remember how it is done but the documentation should
refresh the memory.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Silencing part of the screen.
This is pretty obscure, so not sure anyone will have a suggestion,
but here goes.
Firstly, this issue is occurring essentially in a terminal window,
IE, when I am running in Cygwin, a linux-like command-line
interface on a Windows box.
On all of my machines, except for my newest 64 bit Windows 7 box,
I have no problem. When I am using my email client, Pine, it
shows the first screen of information, when you hit the space bar,
it shows the next screen full of text. The top line of the screen
stays mostly the same, showing the Pine version, message number,
and a couple of other things, it also shows the percentage of the
email that has been displayed so far. The bottom couple of lines
of the screen is a command menu of sorts.
In all of my boxes, except for the Windows 7 box, when I hit the
space bar, JAWS just reads whatever changed on the screen. So, it
doesn't reread the top line of the screen, except for the
percentage which changes. And, it doesn't read the bottom two
lines of the screen.
On my windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, it rereads the
entire first line of the screen. This is rather annoying.
I am not sure why the difference, since I am running the same
version of JAWS on all the boxes.
I have never messed around with JAWS frames, but am wondering, can
I set up a frame that encompasses most of the first line of the
screen and then sets it to silent mode or something like
that. This is definitely reminiscent of VocalEyes back in the day.
Any suggestions on how to go about this?
Thanks.
