Hi,

this is not an easy task. I also needed a way to do this, and i searched all 
the newsgroups for an solution. The prob is to filter out the working 
approaches from the "not working"

In my case I had the problem, that parts of the TSFE-Objects are missed, so 
i got some results like normal CE's but no results with Extensions. e.g.
If anyone has a working solution, it would make sense to offer an Extension, 
that offers a TSFE-Object for BE, so anyone could use with minimum of 
initialization.
