Win32 DDE Poke examples? I'm getting "poke failed"

[Brad Clements]

I'm running NT 4.0 SP3 with Python 1.5.2 and win32all-125

There aren't any examples of using Converation.Poke(), the help file doesn't
show what args are passed, the __doc__ is blank.. :-(

I'm getting Poke Failed as the error, when I try

ch.Poke("password",r"userid\password")

The topic is "password", the value is r"userid\password"

Anyone have any ideas? Is this the correct way to use Poke?
