Can anyone recommend an alternative to hyperterminal with a printing function?

A client has HT files saved, opening them in HT is fine, but when trying to print and the output go to a text file, or even a prn file, it doesnt work.

I have installed the generic text driver, set the port to print to file, highlighted what we want to print, right click and then print, selected the right printer and print and nothing happens, do the same again, but this time also selecting print to file box, and it still does nothing.

If i close HT and reopen it. select about 5 lines of the output and do the above it prints to a text file, however if i try it again afterwards it wont work.

also started from scratch, we cannot print the entire selection of text.

does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks
