I am sorry to say that the 7.[2345] versions of PTDISP/PTCON do not
support mathematical combinations of fields.  Version 7.6 is, however,
slated to include this functionality.  Once PTxxx can handle math,
the ROABCON, SFCCON, etc. drivers of PTCON will be upgraded to also
provide the math capabilities.

I _really_ wish I had better news...
