Excel commands via DDE

[PaigeMiller]

In the documentation for using DDE to write to Excel, there are examples of Excel commands embedded in SAS code, for example, as shown here

     PUT '[select("r1c1:r20c3")]';

     PUT '[sort(1,"R1C1",1)]'; 

     PUT '[save.as("dde3.xls")]';

     PUT '[quit()]';

Where can I find a complete list of these Excel commands?

I think the commands are all those in the link Art provided, but those don't really encompass all the options anymore because some new ones are available with the new versions of Office...
