TNMUDP component's local Port property

I am using UDP/IP as a simple means of getting messages from A to B.

Why is the LocalPort property only settable at design time? (and the
RemotePort settable at run time?)

Does this mean I can have only one process running using UDP/IP on a single
machine?  Running two processes would require 2 separately compiled
applications with different local port numbers!?

Also, the Using C++ Builder help file defines the SendBuffer method of the
TNMUDP component as:

   procedure SendBuffer(Buff: Array of char; length: integer);

Yet, I have to use the following C++ syntax to compile the function call
correctly:

    UDP->SendBuffer( char *, int, int );

I understand that components are written in Pascal - that's about all I know
of components.  Why on earth does the help show me Pascal syntax and not C++
syntax for the UDP component class?

Thanks for responding (maybe?)
