Can anyone recommend a program that I can use to do some serial port work?

I just need to config the port on my PC then send a few characters (inc ESC)
either from a file or by typing on kbd.

Since you don't give away your preferred OS, I assume you are talking
about some flavour of Window$. In this case HyperTerminal is the first
choice, since it comes with the OS.

In case you are using something like a half-decent OS (Linux comes to
mind), minicom seems to be prudent.

HTH,

What OS are you running?

See what just 30 minutes with Google can do? ;-)

Actually I spent two hours yesterday looking for what I wanted and then
found it in 30 mins today (and yes it was using google).
