LPC 2138 simple problem

Hi all,

I have a small starter problem with my LPC2138

I'm using Flash Magic to make the hex file and program it to the arm controller.

I managed to make a serial connection with the terminal on Flash magic, so I can send characters to it.

What I want to do is to print a sentence to the terminal.

this is how I print a character:

void    outchar0(char k)
        {
        unsigned long a;                        //local variable
        U0THR=k;                                        //ascii code to buffer transmitter
                while((a=U0LSR&0x41)!=0)
                {
                }
        }
