Re: Reference for using DDE in emacs.

[Michael Frandsen]

Hi FCC,

Actually I want to use it the other way arround.
I have an environment which uses DDE commands to start an external editor. I
would like that editor to be emacs, however I have to know the DDE commands
to do different stuff.

Thanks,
Michael
