If you need several features you have to summ the flags.

That last line stumps me, How do you sum the flags? Can some one please give me an example that I can follow?

Thanks

I think you can simply sum the values of the flags, e.g. 0x80000 + 0x40000

[Yukiko]

Let's assume these are values for the various flags:
0x1000
0x2000
0x4000
0x8000
0x0400
0x0800
0x0010
0x0020
0x0001
0x0002
0x0004

The sum of these flags would be:
0xFC37

Basically you're just adding (summing) all the values for the various flags.
The word "sum" has become somewhat arcane these days. Maybe that's where the confusion arose for you. I'm one of those "old dogs" who's old enough to know that "sum" means "to add". I still get confused when it comes to fractions though. I don't know my numerator from my denominator without digging through my brain.

Us old timers can almost remember when "doing arithmetic" was called "ciphering". Almost...

Thanks, I was trying to make it way more complicated.
