				This plugin was created as an example for the developer on how to create plugins for PHPDevShell. 
                                It is very simple, but that is the idea.
				For advanced examples view the PHPDevShell plugin scripts, 
                                it contains everything you might encounter during your development.
				Also view the API directory found on http://www.phpdevshell.org, or visit the forums to ask for help.
			</p>
			<p>
				This plugin also offers a good example on how the hook system works.
