Sure -- I eventually plan to make number boxes have a "properties" dialog window that can make them look like sliders instead as well as setting their ranges, etc. But that's a ways down the dolist.
If any of you are feeling brave, the new 0.28TEST5 actually has text editing inside boxes (www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software) -- sorry, Linux only for now; I'll try to get the real release out in a week or so.

Actually sliders, ticker, atl. should be atoms, just like number boxes, or symbols, then the saving would work automagically, can't remember now, why I didn't make them atoms .... Maybe just because it is not easily possible to do these things in externals.
