R and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)

Dear Rusers,
I run an application (not mine) which acts as a DDE server.
I would like to use R to get data from this application,
say once per minute, and do some processing on it.
I didn't find much info on the R DDE abilities, apart the tcltk2
package in which I will try to go deeper.
I would be very thankful for any info, pointer or advice about the
"good ways" to make R program get online data from a DDE server.
Thanks
Vincent
