Quoting Greg Stigers <[log in to unmask]>:

MGR.TEST:SHOWVAR HPMINUTE
HPMINUTE = 5
MGR.TEST:SETVAR MINUTE HPMINUTE+30
MGR.TEST:SHOWVAR MINUTE
MINUTE = 35

If HPMINUTE > 30 then you'd have to add some checking and math, something like
and IF ... THEN ... ELSE check to subtract 30 from the minutes and add 1 to the
hour.
