Do hooks need to be created somewhere or are they arbitrarily named in code?
I read the documentation and it doesnt really state anything useful.

Thanks

Hooks exist in the code already.

Hooks are not compulsory. You don't have to include hooks.

<font color="darkgreen">Ok. I was still researching them and see that they are mostly used with products and the standard vB pages/funcitons. If I wanted to create one to help my hack be converted to a product, how would I go about doing so?</font>

You meant adding plugins, not hooks. Hooks are added into files for the purpose of plugins

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
