Can I convert this to Arduino IDE

[SouthernAtHeart]

Arduino source code is C. Well, C++ actually. The hex code generated will indeed work on a plain AVR without a bootloader. In fact, the Arduino (sort of, as you say :)) IDE can program directly to a plain AVR via an ICSP programmer.

GREAT! SO I can write my sketch and use my UNO as the ISP and load the hex directly on the board.
How???
I see in the Arduino IDE there is Tools/Programmer/Arduino as IDE. Surely it's not as simple as selecting that, and it dumps my Arduino sketch, converted to hex code straight thru the UNO, unto the motor board??? That would be great!
