Configure TinyTERM as a DDE server. From another application, initialize a DDE channel to either the Terminal or Script topic. Use DDE Execute to run an XMIT command; e.g.,

XMIT “TEXT”

Nothing happens in TinyTERM. The same thing is true if you use the DDE POKE command to the Terminal topic.

If you use the TSL DISPLAY command to either Terminal or Script:

DISPLAY TEST

The word “TEST” is displayed, rather than the contents of the variable it should be associated with.

Also, a DDE request for a screen area XnnnYnnnWnnnHnnn; e.g., X001Y001W008H002
returns the string “TERMINAL” rather than the text in the defined area.

CR 661, POKE
CR 709, screen area fixed in TinyTERM 4.53 (May 2007)
