hey david! if you want to collect some ideas how a real usable and pretty interface for a modular environment could look like, have a look at http://synthmaker.co.uk/about.html it's got bendable links... you never have to leave edit mode... and have a look at how ALL interface elements as bitmap & vector knobs, sliders or wavedraw display consist of modules themselve. the environment is off course not as powerful as pd, but the interface is just a joy to work with.
