[Bf-funboard] Basic calculation in search menu

[Sean Olson]

You can also do these calculations already in any number field...so
say you want to move 24 frames from the end of the end frame...in the
frames box just do 1524+24.  (If end frame is 1524).  I've seen some
crazy python expressions that you can do to in the num fields - see
this for info:
