MidiShare does not have any Inter application Midi routing 
capabilititie on Mac OSX.

But you can use the CoreMidi  Inter application Midi routing 
capabilititie. On Panther there is an IAC driver in Audio/Midi setup. 
On Jaguar you can find programs for that (like MidiPipe)

Basically you use MidiShare with its CoreMidi driver (the msMidiDriver 
that is installed by default). Using the MidiShare tool msDrivers, you 
can do a connection between MidiShare ports and CoreMidi devices. The 
you can route Midi output form the CoreMidi application in the the 
MidiShare/Fluidsynth component.
