I apologize if you have read this before. I received no answers, when I
usually receive tons, so I was not sure if it was propagating. Please bear
with me. 

Would someone send me some specific information about using dm2500 chat with
the rs232 port. I have used it successfully already, but am disappointed with
it's behavior. Everything wraps around to the top of the screen like when I use
'talk' on UNIX, instead of scrolling old lines off the top, like with vt100
mode. I have very little documentation. Someone( Arun Welch) told me to use
dm2500 because it was more intelligent than vt100, and I'm sure he's right( I
don't know my terminals), but I can't seem to make it work like a regular
terminal. I have to use clear all the time. When I reach the bottom of
the screen, it begins again at the top, overwriting the screen, and producing
a messy and hard to read screen. I would also like to be able to pop up the
scroll bar to go back and re-read stuff I didn't think was important the first
time( like I wasn't paying attention, ya know ;-) ).

Thanks for any help you send my way.
