Yes and no! They are special comments that are recognised by the script
processor. The first says that this is a version 2 Hamster script and the
second loads in the definitions in "hamster.hsm" which you should find in
your Hamster directory. Among other things it contains the
HamsterRequireVersion subroutine used in the script.

Yes. It is a series of yes/no flags for Monday-Sunday.

I will leave others to explain that, I have never used it. (I think it is
some sort of scheduler...)
