Indeed, it seems a terrible waste of bandwidth to just reply "I don't
know". But the total lack of feedback can be very frustrating - you
can't even be sure that other people are seeing your message.

Sure some of us do. While Smalltalkers aren't quite the grey hair club
that Forth is there are a bunch of older people. Who remember Active X
when it was COM and that when it was still DDE (dynamic date exchange -
one huge advantage of Windows 3.1 over 3.0).

I can't imagine anyone having used Squeak with it, but if there is some
DLL around that can do it then it is possible to make Squeak talk to it
via the FFI (I wouldn't expect any callbacks to be involved since DDE
was very stream-like).
