I think you're right about that.  I'll go think about it...

Yuck because I can't figure out how to get Wish, when I click on it in
Windows, to just run my script and not make a Wish console...  also, whatever
program one identifies as Pd, it would be desirable to be able to drag a patch
to it (or double-click the patch to start it) -- and I don't see how to get
Wish to do that for me unless I recompile the whole thing with a very special
startup behavior.  This means actually sitting at a Windows machine for hours,
which I don't find very fun.

Neat idea...  ";pd args <blah blah>".  This will mean being able, dynamically,
to change any features controlled by arguments.  Possibly a lot of rewriting.
Meanwhile I spent most of last week trying to get a way to save and restore
settings OS-independently.
