DM2500 chat help needed

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 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 told me to use dm2500 because it was more intelligent
than vt100, and I'm sure they're right, 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, over writing the screen, and producing
a messy 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.
