how can i write a vi in using parallel port for digital inputs

Dear all,
i am a beginner user of LabVIEW and i want to write a vi in using parallel port for digital I/O. After reading the article "Using the Parallel Port in LabVIEW
" and download the parallel.zip, i know how to write the vi for output, but i still don't know how to write the input one.i've try to use a Inport.vi to test, but nothing change when i set pin2-9 to high. (my computer:win2K & LabVIEW 6.1)
Can anybody teach me how to write it?
Can anyone write the vi for me too?
Thanks all!
p.s.i've already install the "accessHW.exe"

Are you using VISA or the accessHW VIs? You may need to goto the bios and set the parallel port to run in spp mode or standard mode. This is the simpliest configuration and where you should start.

As far as writing the VI goes, just copy the diagram out of the tutorial you mentioned.
