Hi, I am porting a terminal emulator to the PC, but
I don't have much previous experience with the PC.
I am not sure how to access the serial port.

How do you

 - reset, set baud rate, parity, etc
 - find how how many bytes there are left to be read
 - how to read/write the serial port.

I am doing this in Turbo Pascal.  If you have a small
sample code that you can share, please send it to me.
I plan to make my program public domain.  Thanks
