OK, let's get real basic, then.  I'll give you a nice and simple step-by-
step, but to keep it really simple, I need the answer to the following 
questions:

1.  What is your home directory, normally your username as well?  Thus, 
if you login as fred, your home dir will normally be /home/fred/.

2.  What do you want to call your two pan instances?  Are you going to 
have one for binaries and another for text?  Or one for mp3s and another 
for wallpaper?  Or one for pr0n and another for everything else, or ???

3.  Do you already have a bin dir in your home dir, ~/bin?  (Note that ~/ 
is a shortcut to your home dir, no matter what your username or home 
directory.  Since I don't know your username or home directory yet, I 
used the ~ form.)

4.  Do you want to start with the same thing in both instances, or would 
you prefer to setup the second one from scratch?

We'll start with that.  That's enough to setup the two instances, and to 
create two simple starter scripts.  Once that's working, we can get a bit 
fancier if you want.
