Ok, I see what you mean. How about this? Use the HyperTerminal program on your PC to capture the printf'd output from the robot (on a Windows-based PC it's at Start-Programs-Accessories-Hyperterminal). HyperTerminal has a logging function that lets you make a log file (.txt or .log) of all the text it captures. Just be careful that you "Disconnect" Hyperterminal before you try to use IFI loader to put a new load into the robot, because Hyperterminal blocks the serial port. After dumping a new load into the robot using the IFI loader, you can "Connect" to the robot from Hyperterminal again.
