You could do this, and it would work well I'm sure. But the super-easy, no programming, no fuss way to just log all the printf's is to use the HyperTerminal program and get it to log the session. Hyperterminal is already installed on your machine and it's easy to use, so if all you want to do is make log files of your printf's, this is the easiest way, I believe. Try it out and let me know if you need help with it...
