does *anyone* have any idea of how to initiate a converstation with a dde
server through euphoria.
Even if it was through running a dde.exe like file with command line
parameters.
Anyone?

It's not trivial. In "Programming Windows 3.1" by Charles Petzold, he
discusses the topic in depth. Among the complexities, the conversation
strings need to be converted to "atoms" before sending.

Well, I have had some success "driving" Internet Explorer (3.02) by passing
it files using the Win32 ShellExecute() function where those files (JPGs,
GIFs, and HTMs) are set to open with DDE in the registry. Thus you can
call ShellExecute with the data file and it will open with IExplore.exe
without initiating a new instance of IExplore.exe each time. How to
receive replies
from IExplore is beyond me. This is really just a convenient and not very
sophisticated use of the registry and not data "exchange" exactly.
Later,
