Serial connection from Seeduino Film via XBees to Computer

With a program that talks to Serial from the seeduino film with baud rate 19200, and two xbees on explorer boards set to baud rate 9600 and two terminal emulators set to baud rate 9600, we can establish a serial connection from the seeduino film to the computer via the xbees.

One xbee is just on the explorer shield and connected to the computer via USB, a terminal emulator attached to it (powered via USB from the explorer).
The second xbee is wired to the seeduino film's breakout board (powered via USB) like this: 5v and ground are connected, and RXD on the seeduino breakout board is connected to DOUT on the xbee explorer, and TXD on the seeduino breakout board is connected to DIN on the XBee explorer shield.
