Hi Steve,

It's easy.  Make up a QTR ICC profile for the ABW settings.  Just like you'd be softproofing
it with the warm tone.  Convert your grayscale to this profile.  It will now be grayscale
but show the color of the ink. Now convert that to AdobeRGB.   The color of the ink will
now show in the RGB values.
