I am pretty sure Xilinx ISE lets you do the same thing - your top level file can be schematic, it will make symbols from the input/output ports of your HDL and you can connect the dots so to speak
Not sure if your familiar with Andre' Lamothe from the
www.xgamestation.com web site. He has done a lot of this stuff before. I know he has looked at the various IDE's and his recommendation is typically Lattice esp for beginners ... thats what he has used for several CPLD based products on his web site - ymmv
FYI for Xilinx digilent has videos for ISE and so does Tony Burch

I had a real problem with Quartus and their licensesing files - finally got it straightened out - I wanted to see Alex Freeds latest FPGApple in it's native environment and it looks to me on first blush that ISE and Quartus appear vary similar in their toolset.
Henry, I don't have a problem if you want to test the waters on GetAFreelancer.com
