Thanks for all the information and the IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.

The only thing the instruction says "You simply send an ASCII string to the
controller followed by a carriage return and line feed. The Controller will
either respons with a ' : ' or a ' ? ' . A colon means that the command was
received correctly, a queastion mark indicates an error with the command
sent to the controller. Send the command TC1 and it will response with the
reason."
If I use telnet and send the command ID then I will get 6 lines back and
then a new line with the : and the cursor flashing behind it. So it looks
like I receive a CRLF before the :
I need to read the respons until I either receive a : or ?
Could I use ReadChar and stop reading when I get either the : or ?
Thanks,
Kim
