RSS feeds are just XML documents in a certain format that can be 
accessed using HTTP.  See, for example, http://xkcd.com/rss.xml.

If I were doing it, I'd write an RPG program that called Scott Klement's 
HTTP API to retrieve the XML .  Then I'd have another program that used 
RPG's built in XML support to parse the XML document and write the info 
to a file.
