To open the port, ApdComPort1.Open := True. To wiggle DTR, ApdComPort1.DTR := False (or True as you decide). Same for RTS, ApdComPort1.RTS := False. So drop some buttons on your form and make their actions toggle True and False on the items you want to control. If you don't choose a com port ahead of time, or the com port you have chosen is not valid, when you open the port it'll automatically pop up a chooser at run time. Easy!
