In the default code folder, there should be a .mcp file. This is the MPLAB project file. Open this. To download code, I think you go to Programmer->Build, and it will build the .hex file. Then, if you open IFI_LOADER, select the location of your hex file. Under the PortSettings Menu, select the COM port to which your RC is connected, and then hit "download".

The programming cable is just a standard serial cable. Port pinout.

The driver station and the operator interface are the same thing. Some useful documents: RC Reference Guide, OI Reference Guide, Control System Overview, Control System Quick Start Guide.

Go to http://www.ifirobotics.com/ for more information, they still have a lot of their legacy documentation posted.
