Help with saving serial outputs into stamp

I have a C++ program that is constantly sending data into the Stamp chip using serial port output. I would like to save the data into the Stamp memory and subsequently send it out with a RF transmitter to another boebot. Any idea how i can save the data into Stamp's memory? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks! :)

    You can save some data using the WRITE statement, but there's limited room and the same EEPROM space is used for your program. Also keep in mind that any EEPROM location can only be written a limited number of times (commonly 100,000 times). Look in the Stamp Manual or the Stamp Editor's help files for more details (on the READ / WRITE statements).

    There are all sorts of external devices you can attach to a Stamp to store more information, but the choice depends on how much data, how often it might change, etc. ... more information than you've provided.
