Generic answer: byte OR 0xF7

But what's a "byte" in AutoIt, I don't know.

$byte = 0;the number (byte) where you want to set bits on/off

;the flags (the bits that you want to turn on/off)
Dim $bits[8];

$bits[0] = 1  ; in binary : 00000001
$bits[1] = 2  ; in binary : 00000010
$bits[2] = 4  ; in binary : 00000100
$bits[3] = 8  ; in binary : 00001000
; etc.
$bits[7] = 128; in binary : 10000000

$bitToSet = 3 ;whatever bit you want to set to "1"

;to set the bit to 1
$byte =  BitOR($byte,$bits[$bitToSet] )

Note : the code above works only if $byte=0 at the beginning.
