If I remember correctly, the send/receive symbols are

the send/receive "symbols" can actually be floats as well... in iemgui, not the ordinary floatbox nor the symbolbox.
Ah, so that wouldn't be guaranteed to work. I was thinking s/r name floats would break the iemgui, but I was confusing it with dynamically changing the s/r name or label to something with spaces in it. However, using floats for the s/r name means you can no longer use [r] with those iemguis and that you have to use [makefilename %d] with [s] (or a message box). It may not be a big deal in this case, but it's worth keeping in mind.
It would save having to check each iemgui for the arg
placement, which isn't listed in the help patches
It's not such a big deal.
No, but since the # of creation args and their meaning isn't documented in
the help patches it makes more work for the user. That's why I added
that info. (It's currently in my_cnv-help.pd but not the other help
patches.)
