Show Enemy Name with HP (ABS)

Hey, I've been toying around with Mr Mo's ABS (http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9304) and thinking of making a Diablo-style Dungeon Crawler (http://blizzard.com/diablo2/) or something similar.

Now, here's what I would like to request. The idea itself is simple, but I'm no scripter so I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do such a thing - or if it is even possible, but what I would like is the name of the enemy on top of the enemy, below it's health or the HP and name of the enemy you last attacked on top of the screen like these shots:

I'd prefer it that the enemy's name is shown above their head like in the second image, but any of the above would be fantastic. I don't have any idea of how to do this, though I think the Monster ID's are part of it. But hey - if I didn't know the answer, I wouldn't be asking for anyone to do this for me.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance to anyone who takes this up. If anything I said didn't make sense or if there's any problems or anything, please post here :).
