Yes, as I said in the Subject. I want that if I touch the Touch sensor, the Nxt sends a BT message and then the computer will make a *.txt file or something like this.

Thanks for help.

If you have some Java proficiency, you could make a plugin for NXTender

If you (or someone else) wrote a plugin for NXTender
you could send a Bluetooth message to your PC like this FILE file.txt "stuff to put in file"
Alternatively, you could use the NXTHID (http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?mo ... AGE_id=119)
to fake a USB keyboard and use a Command Prompt window to add text to files
