Toolbox tools -Merge Mode functions

Several of the toolbox tools -Smear, smudge, brightness, blend etc have Merge Mode settings.  These are Add, Subtract, if lighter, Logical functions etc.  None of them are grayed out so I assume that they have functions. 

I can't get any of them to do anything "logical". If I get anything, it is usually a dark or light stripe.
I can't find any mention of these in the online help.  Any help from users?
Thanks --Pat

    Hi Pat,
    It still works in PhotoPaint X6.
    However, it's a pain to use. There's very little control and it changes
    the pixels of the layer on which you are painting. I prefer to paint (or
    whatever) on a new layer and then change the merge mode of this layer. You
    can then easily make changes, vary opacity, and even discard the new layer
    without having to back up.
