New user trying to drive COM port from IDE

Greetings, all. I'm a first-time user of the Keil IDE and microcontrollers in general, and I've finally gotten my code to the point where I'd like to test it out in the real world, but while still having the debugging interface at my disposal.

The first way I'd hoped to do this was by assigning one of the simulated chip's UARTs to the PC's COM port. The problem is that my application requires 9 data bits, whereas the IDE's documented maximum is 8. Is there unofficial support for 9 bits, or do I need to debug via an interface with a live chip, or what?

Many thanks,
Bob Robertson
