Get out your favorite text editor and open up the plugin file. You'll need to change some of the code for this plugin to work with your own personal promt. The promt will need to have the hour listed somewhere. If you don't know how to list the hour in your promt you're already in trouble. Ask on the forums and you should get friendly hugs and help.

' the promt is spit out again. The script sees the promt and grabs the number
' for the hour and puts it into the "hourly" variable.
'
' If it's the same as the "hour" variable then nothing happens. If it's different
' that means that the hour changed and THAT means that a tick happened. The script
' puts the new number for the hour into the "hour" variable and starts watching
' for another change. Simple.

' It's a lot of variable checking, but Mush is fast enough to handle it.
