How to get the flags for GetText()?

Hello,

The Fm 10 Scripting Guide seems to say that the flags parameter for GetText() is a bitmask, and I should OR constants to get different kinds of text items and so forth. Is this really true or is there some simpler way to tell GetText() what text items I need? Or do I need to brush up my rusty bitwise OR skills? Or did the tech writer just cut and paste form the FDK Reference?

Thanks
