Don't you simply mean:
 FFCC99 = 00CC99 + FF0000 ?
And you want the result of that addition in hex, not decimal -- right?

May I ask, is this a calculation that you're trying to do with XyWrite? Or
with Javascript? If you're trying to do this with Javascript ("what I want
javascript to do is..."), and you're asking how to do it, then you're asking
the wrong newsgroup! [Although I think it's pretty simple in JScript -- just
standard notation -- dim values as long integers, then it's gotta be something
like:
 rrggbb = Hex(&H00CC99 + &HFF0000)
Isn't that more or less it?]

If you want to do it with XyWrite (that is, with XPL), it's easy (if XyWWWeb.U2
is installed), and we can tell you how.
