Default Serial Port (USB)?

How do I send and receive ascii on a USB serial
port?

It's to and from a Drake R8B shortwave receiver,
and just to set the time of day etc, twice a year.

It would be nice if it just appeared as a device
like an external HD that I can write to and read
from.

I'm using Cygwin under XP, so if it has a device
name presumably I can just send text to it and
read text from it, but I have no idea how it comes
up.

Maybe I need what's referred to as a terminal
program, but I don't know what that means.
