Can a LDDP plugin get the name of the current file? AFAICS it's only given
the contents of the editor buffer (or just the selection). Without the file
name there's no way to do any polling, and when it's given the selection
only it's imperative that the file is not overwritten with only these lines!

I don't think ldlist D&D is implemented in LDDP (pity!), and IIRC the ldlist
D&D is one part at a time only. If so it's not very easy to drag a whole
buffer from SyncEdit to LDDP using this protocol.
It almost seems like LDDP needs a new kind of 'plugin' ('plug-beside') that
can be live at the same time as LDDP, and gets automatic sync messages from
LDDP (and vice versa). The easiest way might be to let LDDP start an
external .exe with a (or maybe two, one for each direction)temporary file
and a window handle as the arguments, making it possible for LDDP to signal
the external program, and the external program to signal LDDP when the text
has been changed.
