Accessing paralel port

Ok so I started on a small robot that i'm going to control using an old toshiba satalite laptop. I know how to use the parallel port to hook it up. I'm trying to program it in BASIC but i don't know how to send information through the parallel port. What I DO know is that i have to send data bits, eight in total. If I send a 0 it will trigger something off, if I send a 1 it will trigger it on. But how do I send data through a particular port using BASIC language?
