As an aside, don't use JClock anymore, regardless of it's merits.  It seems to
steal too much time from the system, which is especially bad if you're running
MultiFinder.  As an example, hierarchical menus were taking about 2-3 seconds
to display with JClock running.  After removing it (and installing MenuClock101
in its place), things run fine again.

I only wish MenuClock had an option that made it somewhat more belligerent --
I wouldn't mind it writing over the rightmost menu in those applications that
insist on displaying more menus than they really need (RSG, for example).
