This is what is says in Pay Pal do you know where in CiviCRM I can make this change?

PayPal allows you to post extended variables if you change this "cmd" input:
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
TO
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_ext-enter">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_cmd" value="_xclick">

Then you can add these variables
Extended Variables
Name   Value
email   Customer's email address
first_name   Customer's first name. Must be alpha-numeric, with a 32 character limit
last_name   Customer's last name. Must be alpha-numeric, with a 64 character limit
address1   First line of customer's address. Must be alpha-numeric, with a 100 character limit
address2   Second line of customer's address. Must be alpha-numeric, with a 100 character limit
city   City of customer's address. Must be alpha-numeric, with a 100 character limit
state   State of customer's address. Must be official 2 letter abbreviation
zip   Zip code of customer's address

Hmm I have never done a hook before. Since we use paypal Pro do I just have to update this part of the function? Where and how would I pass the address information? Is there any more documentation out there for doing hooks that you  know of?

else if( $paymentObj instanceof CRM_Core_Payment_PayPalImpl && $processorType == 'PayPal' ) {
        // Website Pro  Checkout
        $obj   = $paymentObj->getVar('_paymentForm');
        $value = $obj->getVar('_values');
        $id    = $value['id'];
        if ( $value['event']['id'] ) {
            $id =  $value['event']['id'];
        }
 
        $cookedParams['desc'] = $rawParams['description'];
        $cookedParams['custom'] = $id;
