The text comeing in would trigger the NameofSocket.OnRead event, and in the procedure for that there are 2 entries that have the text that the server has sent to you

ReceiveText: string
ReceiveBuf(var Buf; Count: Integer): Integer;

i have no ideas how to use buffers and stuff so just use ReceiveText like
...
var SockText: string;
begin
SockText := Socket.ReceiveText
...

but remember that if u do something with Socket.ReceiveText once it will clear it from memory (took me a while to figure that out) so put it into a string to use for whatever purposes unless u only need it once

for u it would b like (in the OnRead event)
Memo1.Lines.Add(Socket.ReceiveText);

yay
