The RS232 Device number is 2. You should be able to redirect BASIC prints
(and everything else that prints via the Kernal CHROUT routine) to the
device. If the program does not use the kernal CHROUT routine but instead
pokes directly to screen memory,
you're out of luck. CMD only sets the default output device used by CHROUT.
See https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/RS-232 for details on configuring and
opening the device. After opening, you need to issue CMD 2 to change the
default device for all print statements.
I'm not sure whether RUNning a BASIC program will reset the default output
device for CHROUT. If so, you will need to modify the program accordingly.
