Uhhh, so you're saying I'm doing this conversion for nothing?
Indeed dude.
I'm trying RealTerm, but I don't know what I have to set. I get the COM1 8N1 thing done, but I must be missing other key parameters 'cause I can't get it to work.
go to 'pin' tab then uncheck RTS and DTR... you'll be in business. Chances are because you're using an ICD adapter 
and those pins force your chip to reset.... that's it IMHO. OR you type in text box... you can send number
pretty sure HSEROUT is not working also ?!?
My goal is to download a file in one instruction. Right now I'm sending parts of a record at a time manually. Good for testing, bad for final implementation.
you may need 1 or 2 extra flow control pin for that to avoid dumb or messy download. 1 to tell the pic you're going to receive data, one from the pic to the PC to confirm you receive a byte and you're ready to receive another.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
