How to program USB host shield?

Hello

I need your help as soon as possible.

I have a Arduino Mega board and a USB host shield (like this : http://www.ebay.es/itm/like/261880660401?limghlpsr=true&hlpht=true&ul_noapp=true&hlpv=2&chn=ps&lpid=115&ops=true&viphx=1).

I need send some information from PC using Serial communication to Arduino mega by its programing port, and send this information by the USB host shield using Serial communication too.

It must run like a bridge, I send information from pc this information passes through the board and it is sent through the USB host shield.

PC=======>Arduino MEGA====>USB HOST SHIELD=====>OTHER MACHINE

All using serial communication.

It seems easy, but I couldn't find someone who tell me how I could do it.

I need some example code or something. It is very important because I need do it for a work.

Sorry for my English.Thanks in advanced

and a specific link to outputting data from that shield (that includes code): http://mitchtech.net/android-arduino-usb-host-simple-digital-output/
