convert currentTime to seconds
put (60*60) + currentTime into futureTime -- add the number of 
seconds in one hour
convert futureTime to short time
answer futureTime

You can also do it by converting the time to dateItems and 
manipulating those (it's in the documentation) but it's often tidier 
to do time arithmetic in seconds.
