Here's a script that writes the hands from an Instant Hand History window to your History file. From there you can import it into PokerTracker or whatever you want.
I read some of the posts about Stars and gathering data on your opponents, and I saw some people charging 20$??? for a program that mines.
Yellowbluebus posted a quick and dirty script to grab scripts, and he invited people to modify it. That's what I did. If you are interested, his original AutoIt script is
here.
Mine's free -- but I warn you you're getting what you pay for haha.
Anyone with comments or suggestions, feel free to either post them or PM me.

### PStars Hand Grabber 0.9
### --by MSPChris (2+2 n00b, AHK n00b)
###
### Credit to Yellowbluebus 2+2er who posted the original PS Helper
### AutoIt3 script.
###
### Credit also to the [censored] who try to charge for this stuff.
###
###
### This AHK script grabs PStars histories and puts them into a
### history file. From there the histories could be imported into PTH
### or PO.
###
### The best way to use this script is to observe tables and choose which
### ones to play on. There are other uses, but other uses are not
### intended nor are they recommended since they violate of PStars TOS.
###
### Run this script once you open Stars, but before you actually log on.
###
### Do not run this script while you're playing. It doesn't work. IF
### you decide to try it while you're playing, you won't be able to take
### any actions on your tables or you'll [censored] it up.
###
### You can use the computer while the script is not running, but when
### it starts you should not do anything until the IHH windows disappears.
### Once it disappears you can go back to what you were doing before!
###
### OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
###
### 1) For the variable cFileName, use your own PStars Screen Name
### 2) Set cSleep for how often you want to run the grabber to run.
### I've found that even with 40 tables or so open, the Instant Hand
### History will hold between 30-45 minutes worth of hands right now
### the script is set to run every 10 minutes.
### 3) Save the script after you've customized it.
### 4) Open PStars.
### 5) Open the IHH Window.
### 6) IF you want to use the PC while this utility runs, you may want to
### resize/move the IHH window to someplace where you can see most of
### the screen.
### 7) Open the tables that you are interested in.
### 8) You may want to start PT or PO to process your hands while the
### script runs.
###
### I'm still playing with this code -- if you know a lot about AHK you can
### see that I don't! haha
###
### Tips, Tricks, Hints, and Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
###
### I may post this script elsewhere, like the AHK pages, later on but I
### want to refine it more and add some cooler [censored].
###
### Enjoy!!
