You seem to have missed the point ... the idea is to add a panel to your 
app
without adding any .h or .m files at all!

You drag a panel from the palette, resize it to the size you want,
copy the elements (text etc) you want into it, save it, and your app 
loads it,
and you really have to do very little coding.

Creating new subclasses and generating .[hm] files is supposed to be
quite a rare operation ... for when you want to do something really
unusual.
