Hi Miguel, you are quite right that it can't be done with the current
implementation of dde in win32all. I have made a patch to the dde
module that implements dde hotlinks. I sent it to Mark Hammond about a
year ago but I don't think it is included in win32all yet.

I can see if I can locate the patch and send it to you if you are
interested.
