So you are tryign to write files on the computer from the RC? You will need to write a seperate program to do this. For information on coding for your PC's serial port search MSDN for info on MS COMM control.
Ok wait... besides using hyperterminal, you might want to look into a program called "Stamp Plot pro" It allows you to set up a GUI with all sorts of nifty graphs, text boxes etc to display seria lport input. It can save to files.
