We have assigned this functionality by adding a command to the end of the build process in the project options.

If the program has compiled and linked correctly, then the mLoader / PPP program will automatically begin downloading the appropriate code to the PICmicro. You will see the progress of this download displayed onscreen like this:

If everything went well then your program should now be running within the PICmicro.
