Looking for very basic indy 10 server examples

I'm trying to learn how to use indy. A lot of the examples I can find
online assume I am embedding the indy component within a form.

I just want a simple console application to be able to act as a server.
Once I can talk to that with telnet I was going to write a basic client
and work my way up from there.

I can't even get as far as creating the server:

program ServerTest;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
   SysUtils,IdTCPServer;

var
   svr:TIdTCPServer;

begin

svr:= idtcpserver.create();

end.


It seems to expect an owner in the constructor, I am very new to delphi
but this does not seem to make sense within the context of a console app.

Can someone give me the bare bones of a server that accept connections
on a given port and prints whatever it receives on the screen?

Thanks
