event won't happen

Hello all,
I'm struggling here. If anyone could help, please do.
I've set up some routines with a rs-232 comm component, where I have it follow
a specified sequence of sending and receiving.
What I'm trying to do here is create a seperate unit (call it "UNIT2") and
place all the routines in it, so I can create different projects and include
UNIT2 in each project.
Here's what I've got so far:

unit UNIT2;

interface
uses
windows, messages, sysutils, classes, graphics, controls, forms, dialogs,
stdctrls, extctrls;

implementation
uses Tcomport; (component)

type

var
FComm: Tcomport;

procedure FCommReceiveData(Sender: TObject;DataPtr: Pointer; DataSize:
Integer);
begin
...(routine to process received data)
end;

initialization
fcomm:=Tcomport.Create(fcomm);
fcomm.ComPort:=pnCom1; //set port #
fcomm.ComPortSpeed:=br9600; //set baud rate
fcomm.ComPortParity:=ptNONE; //set parity
end.

When data comes in, the routine for receiving data doesn't execute.
I don't know what I'm missing.
Maybe I didn't call the create right.
It expects an (AOwner: Tcomponent) when I type it in.
I'm pretty lost here.
Thanks for hearing me out,
-Ben
