Description

The function dde-execute-command sends a command string to the conversation specified by conversation. The command string consists of command and arg-list, which are combined using the appropriate argument-marshalling conventions. By default, the syntax is

[command(arg1,arg2,...)]

On success, this function returns a result of t. On failure, the behavior depends on the value of the errorp argument. If errorp is t (the default value), LispWorks signals an error. If it is nil, the function returns nil to indicate failure.
