btw, max uses properties too (inlet/outlet `inspector') for that purpose. The text is saved in a patch file as a `comlet' message:

hmm, and the comlet gets automatically associated with the inlet ? Is there a similar example within pd ? (up to now, I think properties are saved within the objects themselves)
that is why i was suggesting a shift to XML ok, i know this is lot of work. but still: the pd-fileformat is very flat, not at all suitable for describing hierarchies of complex objects (like sub-patches) other languages would allow this, and XML is just standard (even for microsoft...)
