Default 97 Accord "Hunting" Automatic

OK Guys, I've posted some replies to a few things in here, now I need your
help. Here's my story: July 03 I bought a 97 Accord SE with 68,000 miles on it,
in IMMACULATE condition. Lately, whenever I slow down to make a corner at an
intersection (or slow to let a car in front of me turn), it seems to "slip"
when I go to accelerate. When I hit the gas it will tach up to about 4,000 RPM
then catch. My local dealer first told me it was my driving habits. He quickly
retracted that comment after my response to it. A few days later, he tells me
the transmission is built to "hunt" for a gear when accelerating. Well today I
read on epinions.com that the transmissions have "smart logic" to PREVENT
hunting, and it's supposed to "learn" your driving habits and adjust it
accordingly. So I called my dealer yet AGAIN and told him what I just found
out. He then suggested I disconnect the battery to "reset" the computer (and
everything ELSE in my car...). SO I am going to do this when I get off work and
see if it helps. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks in advance...

Josh
