When true (the default is t), warning messages related to dde are signaled. The function cl:warn is called to display the messages. warn default prints the messages to the Debug Window. The messages note when DDE connections and transactions fail, but may be undesired if the attempted operations are not expected necessarily to succeed. For example, if you are calling open-port to see if the port's application is currently running (in which case open-port returns non-nil), then you could bind *show-dde-warnings* to nil around the call to open-port to avoid a warning message when the application is not running.
