I forwarded this suggestion to the Eudora support group. DDE is a whole new level of being
for me, I know only that it stands for Dynamic Data Exchange
(I think).

I may seem an ingrate, but that would have only marginal value for me, since the way I
work now is to have Xy running in a DOS window while I have
Netscape running in another window. With Netscape, I open the file I'm working on
(locally), and every time I want to see the effect of the changes
I'm making, I just hit alt-Q, which runs a delete-1A XPL program I wrote, then click on
Netscape's Reload button, and there it is. So it's just one keystroke and a click as is.
