Far easier to use Girder to do this, and it can do so much more.

s>    Does anyone know of a very simple serial port app that can be
called

I

s>  input source on my LCD TV using the HTPC remote control.  The LCD TV

s>  What I need is something that can be called thus:

s>  simpleserialapp COM1 9600 8 N 1 I A V D CR 

s>  which would tell the app to open COM1 with baudrate 9600, 8 bits, No
s>  parity, 1 stop bit and transmit characters I A V D then carriage
s>  return.  After that close and release the serial port.

s>  I could then call this serial app with a button mapping in the
remote
s>  control script file. 

s>  Hope that makes sense,  I've tried googling but can't seem to pick
the
s>  correct search terms.
