[PD] datastruct newbie mistake

[Kyle Klipowicz]

This is an interesting point that raises a question:  How many of the
GUI objects can be rewritten as data structures (and how difficult
would it be to make some new ones using the technique (esp. to mimic
the nice gui elements in Max)?  I always remember seeing fleeting DS
ideas on the list, but is there a repository on the main webpage for
these creations?
