Summary: Help!

I'm using an IBM PC and a Hayes 1200B with Smartcom II.  When I try to use vi
to edit my stuff on here, I can't get the cursor to move up and down through
the text.  (Until I switched from "formatted" to "direct" character processing,
I couldn't get it to move back and forth either, & had to watch a new line
generated for each move of the cursor, as if I had a real teletype here.  I
still have this problem with up-and-down motion, which means that after 
switching from line to line a few times, I end up with a screenful of lines
out of order & have to list the article to see what I'm doing.)

Various people have told me that it's supposed to be possible to get my
equipment to emulate a VT100 or a VT52, but as usual there's nothing in the
manual about it.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to get normal cursor movement?  If the answer
is to get different software (I hear Crosstalk will do the job) please tell me
that.  Send mail if you can.

Thanks.
