I have an app that inserts text and EMF files into Word via DDE by
executing WordBasic calls. Now the requirement is for the app to do a
similar thing with FM.

The DDE example in the FDK runs for me, but is it true that the only
commands available via DDE are limited to "hypertext" commands?
Whether true or not is there documentation describing all commands
available via DDE?

I need to be able to make the user think the the images are directly
inserted into FM from my app. I'd like to be able to use DDE, but
maybe there's a better option on Windows that I'm not considering.

Thanks for any insights,
Todd
