I'm not a expert but here are somethings I have found.
1) DDE does not work with winnt, I don't know why it just doesn't
2) With emulation(3270) system speed is always an issue...therefore cut/paste can never work.
After a year of frustration I was able to get some info on programming that does work. Because A97 uses VBA you can use language intented for use with VB (with a few modifications).
I use the IBM Personal Communications software on a nt box. IBM has information on HACL (Host Access Class Library) this works a lot like DDE only it does not accumilate memory block like DDE. I am still new to it but what I have discovered so far is it is extremely useful for "scraping" the screen. Once you have the presentation space you can manipulate data any way you wish. Look up HACL at ibm's redbooks for exact information. And if you have any questions I'll be watching this forum and I will try to help anyway I can.
Thanks and good luck
