I'm trying to write a script that works like this:
1) connect to shell with zmud
2) replace file names with mxp send tags to #ftp the sub'ed file
3) use #dde to open editplus and edit the file just downloaded.

I haven't put it together, testing the different pieces right now. Two problems i ran into immediately:

• #dde doesn't seem to be working with editplus and


• how can i tell from script when file transfer has been finished?

Has anyone gotten #dde to work with this program? How can i tell which application isn't working correctly? Somethings i might find useful include: ways to activate editplus's dde controls from a source other than zmud (VB ? i don't know how to do this.) or other common applications i can test #dde with. and any advice at all on the second problem
