3D floor's "High byte"?

I noticed, while working wth 3D floors, that there's a "Tag hibyte" entry in the DoomBuilder configuration. I found that Graf said this high byte is used for tags over 255, but Doom Builder doesn't allow me to enter anything greater than 255 in action boxes. Am I supposed to utilize this through scripts? If so, how? I have a map that I'm working on for fun, that I feel will require the usage of the high byte, but I've no clue how to set it. Help, or at least an explination, very much appreciated.

The high byte is used as follows:

tag = lobyte + 256 * hibyte.

So to get a tag of 256, the lobyte must be 0 and the hibyte must be 1 and so on.

Aah, I see. Thanks for the explaination of that one, Graf.

Shame I was dead on the ZDoom community for a while... Would have found this port sooner :P
