How can I build a remote console application using Delphi and Win32 API?

My first idea:
1. Create a pipe with CreatePipe, and pass it to cmd.exe which I start up with CreateProcess.
2. Listen to commands from the client, if I get one, write it to the pipe’s write handle with WriteFile.
3. Launch up another thread that’s trying to read the pipe constantly. (Reading responses from cmd.exe.) If I read something, send it to the client.

For some reason it doesn’t work. If I write to the pipe, I can’t read the response, I can only read some meaningless characters from the pipe.

What am I doing wrong?

my delphi application designed to work with mscomm32.ocx to operate with serial port like com1 or com2 . i have two problem :

1- by installing on a new machine , my application throw runtime
error . because mscomm32.ocx hasn’t design time lience . yes , there is no design time licence , because this type of lience is not necessary to runtime . now , i want to know how can i install mscomm32.ocx with design time licence or how can i catch this runtime error and continue running application without any problem ?
2-another problem appear in receiving data through mscomm32.ocx ! when mode is set to binary , applcation can’t read zero (null) byte from MSCOMM buffer and throw a runtime error ?!?!?!?! unfortunately , mode should be set to binary .

A lot of thanks to anyone who help me to solve these problems ….
