The information is stored in /Library/Preferences/ 
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist in keys "Text1" through "Text4". You can  
access the fields using the 'defaults' tool, among others. For example:

for LOOP in 1 2 3 4; do echo -n "Info $LOOP: "; defaults read /Library/ 
Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop Text$LOOP; done

Cheers,
TB
