[DUG] hour / minute component

[Kyley Harris]

I agree with this. Its the cleanest easiest way to do it. mask edits and
stuff always end up being counter productive IMO.

it is very easy to use Stringlist Commatext to break it down, then analyze
each suffix. even if they type "20m 20m" you just have a sum of 40m.
