BLYP functional in ADF

Dear ADF users:

I can not clearly understand from the ADF manual what kind of
exchange-correlation is applied when I type the following lines in ADF
input:

1.____________________________
LDA vwn
GGA becke lyp

Is it VWN + X(Becke) + Corr(LYP)
or Xonly + VWN + X(Becke) + Corr(LYP) ?

2._____________________________
GGA blyp

Is it Xonly + X(Becke) + Corr(LYP) ?

I hope that someone can clarify this for me. I would like to know
what XC keyword combination in ADF could give me the closest XC
functional
to BLYP in Gaussian98 ?

Thank you.

Irina
