Hey Mike-

Yes I know, I really do need to document the API stuff better...  For
those curious I did a lengthy post on it in this thread a while back.

As far as the new stuff goes, please look at the getLongWeather
procedure for an example.  That's the proc that adds the long weather
forecasts.  Its very simple since it just grabs the long weather
forecasts info from an existing hash.

Basically you call addDisplayItem like before, but instead of passing
in a time you pass in 'L'.  This will tell the plugin you want left
justified scrolling text.  Internally the plugin will use some timers
when displaying the item to allow adequate time for it to scroll. 
Right now there's a hardcoded minimum of 5seconds to ensure items that
aren't long enough to trigger scrolling to be shown.  When I have a
chance I'll probably add an option to specify a minimum as an argument,
such as 'L5'.

Thanks, happy to see some interest in this.

-Greg
