This is the source for a custom Interface Builder which incorporates exactly
one custom object into one extra palette.  The code demonstrates several
things, most notably how to build a custom Inspector.  To the best of my
knowledge, this capability is undocumented; that means that it might
disappear at any moment.  Or, the interface might change...or the capability
might just vanish.  (Are you starting to get the point here?)

Of great interest is the "live" nature of the object -- it depends on system
services provided by a process outside of the Interface Builder, but still
works as expected in test mode.  Other services that you might use in the
same way as this program uses Display PostScript are:  Mathematica, Sybase,
Common Lisp, or ANY NEXTSTEP APPLICATION (since Speaker/Listener pairs are
everywhere).
