controlling other applications fom Delphi

I am a VB programmer who is trying to learn Delphi. I want to send
some keystrokes to another application from Delphi. In VB this was
really easy:

  AppActivate "Untitled - Notepad"
  SendKeys "Hello from Delphi", True

I can't seem to find anything on this subject in the help file. Does
anyone know how to do this?

   Lookup information on DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange).
