how the heck do I do it?...
in my '95 (which i'm now driving) I hooked up my scan tool and looked at the Code history, there where 9 codes stored, but I didn't know from how far back, since I've driven the car VERY little and had no issues. The problem is, when I tell the scanner to clear the codes, it just site on the wait screen and nothing happens for like 10 mins, then it goes to an opporation error screen... am I doing anything wrong, and is there another way to manually clear the codes?

When you tell the Tool to clear the codes it should have no issues doing so on the 95... But if it does you can disconnect the battery, but the PCM will have to learn again...

UPDATE:
I figured out the problem....
out of habbit i looked up for my 92 not my 95.
a check engine light came on this morning so I re hooked up and almost made the same mistake..
i checked codes, and there where 29 history codes, so i cleared everything, and will keep an eye on it all to see what happens.
