Matt,

Could you point me in the right direction for finding information on this
"hidden" feature of the PIC firmware?
I've never seen it mentioned in any other place.

Thank you!

As for software on the PIC, there really is none required. The "debugging"
feature I mentioned refers to the hidden ability to send serial data to and
from the PIC firmware while it's being developed, so you can insert tx
commands at strategic points to let you see what the thing is doing. I
don't know how useful this will be to anyone else, but I personally use
this trick a lot.
