Twelve years ago I did this, but Lord knows I can't remember how...

I want to send a string of six or eight hexadecimal numbers out of COM2 (or 1) 
to a device (a projector).

I do know that the COM statement goes something like this:
     mode com2: baud=9600 parity=n data=8 stop=1 {xon=none, full duplex}
(The projector in question wants the above parameters. I do not know what is 
optional and what is required)

any how I want to pipe the following string to a com port (in hex):
    02 00 00 00 02

can anybody point me to a full explanation of the mode command? Or whatever it 
is I need?

thanks
