Oops. I knew there was something else I needed to check. I remembered
save/load, but forgot cut/paste. Thanks.

I just looked over your patch and at first glance it seems in order. I
think this is probably a good thing, although, if PD had segmented patch
cords I could see an argument for multiple connections as a feature.

As far as this color patch goes, I think the right way to do it would be
to have the style strings (color, width, etc.) for signal and control
patch cords defined somewhere so later they could be user defined at
run-time, or at least so there would be only one place in the code to
change them. For the quick hack patch I submitted, I wanted to change as
few files as possible. I'm not sure I'm the person who should decide where 
these things should really go :).
