Creating Custom Noise Word List

Can you outline the steps for creating/adding custom noise words for Webinator 5 Windows version. I can see the discussion on message board but would like to have the complete step by step procedure if possible.

<$mynoiselist="am" "are" "were">
<apicp noise $mynoiselist>
Add code similar to the above to both dowalk and search. In dowalk add to the bottom of the applysettings function. In search add to the bottom of the init function.

I will need to drop and recreate index after adding noise words right?

Not in Webinator. It indexes all terms whether noise or not to make noise searching more easily flexible. So I guess setting the noise list in dowalk isn't really needed then. Just in the search.
