Are you sure you're using the correct entry from the SendTo menu?  The
latest kit invokes gnuclient with the -q and -F options.  Can you send
me the properties of your SendTo menu entry?  Here's how to find it:
1. Right click on Start and select Explore
2. Choose the SendTo folder
3. Right click on "XEmacs (via gnuclient)" and choose Properties
4. Cut and paste the target string into your reply

Yes, I think that feature is built into DDE - the recipient is
automatically brought to the foreground.

The setup kit adds a gnuclientw entry for the first XEmacs it finds.
When that gnuclient invokes an XEmacs, it uses the one from the
current directory.  I decided that anyone sophisticated enough to have
multiple versions of XEmacs installed could change the properties of
the SendTo item.

I don't see that.  For me, ^Xb offers *scratch* as the alternate
buffer.  This is true in both 21.4 and 21.5.
