Is there some sort of sample code to do this? I am not sure how this would
work since there would still be two apps and the debugger can't launch my
PrefPane as a normal app - so how do I debug it? I can see that it would
launch the hosting app, but then debugging my PrefPane - not sure...

While I can do one at a time, since they communicate with each other, it'd
be nice to be able to see data in one and then see that all goes well in the
communications process.
Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions,
