sweet, i didn't know you could send serial commands like that in windows. I was looking for ideas on how to send simple commands and talk to a serial device from a pc using putty but this is even easier. The only issue i had was the first command worked, but no other commands worked after that. i'm not sure why but i'm going to keep playing around to test. thanks!
You can even use the windows command line like "echo some message >COM1" so in theory you don't even need the Arduino serial console although it makes it simpler.
