Help!!

I am trying to create a program that will communicate with my magnetic stripe reader and I'm not sure where to start. Right now I'm just trying to write a code that will turn the red LED light on. The reader is connected to COM1 and it requires that the program sends out a code like so: <ESC><85>. Can someone help me get started? Thanks
