	I'm not certain that that's wrong because various implementations
of DDE use different words for the same things, and, worse, use the same
word for different things. BUT you might try using PROGMAN for the topic and 
the item as well. (Where I come from the "application" and the "topic" are 
both supposed to be PROGMAN - there is no "item", but regardless, the string 
"GROUP" never comes up...)

Don't you guys find it tedious typing the same thing
