.I y
is added and the result is used as an offset in the file. The default type
if one is not specified is long.
+.PP
+Sometimes you do not know the exact offset as this depends on the length of
+preceding fields. You can specify an offset relative to the end of the
+last uplevel field (of course this may only be done for sublevel tests, i.e.
+test beginning with
+.B >
+). Such a relative offset is specified using
+.B &
+as a prefix to the offset.
