Windows Com Port access

Trying to grasp the nettle (or maybe bite off more than i can chew)  in
learning Delphi, I need to know more about how Windows handles RS232
com port data.  I am working with systems that have around 18 com pots,
and I was wondering how Windows XP handles com port data. Specifically,
is there any point making the app create a separate thread for eack com
port, or does the underlying OS make this pointless?
