Start xcopilot like normal, for me it is:

xcopilot -serial -gdebug &

Click the checkbox on gdb Panel (you need to load that if you don't have it
already -- /usr/local/pilot/gdbpanel).

Start DDD:

ddd --debugger m68k-palmos-coff-gdb myobjectfile

and then in the DDD debug window at the bottom I type my target line:

target pilot /dev/ttyqf

Then I click on my program icon within xcopilot and it stops at the first
line of code.  Set my breakpoints and watches.  Very cool.

But, I'll admit I haven't done that in a while.  You sorta get used to the
quick and dirty nature of gdb, and it is really quite easy with a little
practice.
