IrDA interface with PC - basic steps worth 30 points

Ain't no expert over here :( I've heard of stuff such as IrCOMM... Winsock (for TCP/IP)... in simple words, what are the basic steps of capturing data from an IrDA device. Thx for your attention.

With CreateFile function, you have to open the COM port corresponding to the IrDA interface ("COM3:" on Pocket PC), then you can use WriteFile or ReadFile to write/read datas on the IrDA interface.

And how do I address such WriteFile / ReadFile commands? Is there anyway it can be made programmable... maybe then the Winsock issue would appear here? I'm kinda lost...
