This method worked!!! Thank you.

Just upload an empty sketch to the Arduino first, to ensure that it does not access the hardware serial bus.
Then connect Arduino pin 0 (Rx) to ESP8266 Rx, and Arduino pin 1 (Tx) to ESP8266 Tx. NB: Do not cross Tx/Rx like you would normally do, as the Rx (pin 0) is where the AT328 normally receives its signal so it will act as Tx towards the ESP - and vice versa for pin 1. )
It is strongly recommended to use a level shifter between Arduino pin 0 (0-5V) and ESP8266 (0-3,3V), or else you could kill the ESP.
Use an Arduino IDE Serial Monitor window to talk directly to the ESP.
This method worked!!! Thank you.
