Q: Policy Entry & multiple key signers

Hi:

As stated in the Policy Tool document a new policy entry is defined by a
CodeBase (URL) [Optional], SignedBy (alias name in a keystore) [Optional] &
one or more permissions. The documentation states that multiple signers
separated by commas imply a Boolean AND relationship and not a Boolean OR.
If I want to use an OR relationship for my signers is there a syntax in
the policy file to allow this or must I make a separate policy entry for
each signer?

If there is a syntax what sort of operands are available: AND, OR, NOT...?
And how sophisticated can I get?

TIA,

Jeff
