from the emulation to another Windows application. To do this, proceed as fol-
lows:
Ê Select the DDE Configuration... menu item in the Edit menu
In the dialog box displayed, you have the option of viewing the characteri-
stics of the DDE connection that was already configured. The following infor-
mation is displayed:
Topic This is fixed and reads marked.
Item The item description is specified by the user.
Hot Link This indicates whether the data should be updated auto-
matically by the client.
Area This displays the row and column area in the 9750 appli-
cation window that belongs to the item. The data from
this area is transferred to the application.
Ê Select Create to configure a new DDE connection.
A new item is defined in the dialog box that appears. Specify the name of the
DDE connection to be used by the client.
Ê Confirm your entries with OK.
Editing/deleting DDE connections that were already configured
You can change DDE connections that were already configured (e.g. redefine
the area to be transferred) or delete them. The Edit..., Delete, and Reset com-
mand buttons are available for this purpose in the Edit: DDE Configuration... dia-
log box.
