Lars:

The limit comes from the peer, which is a fancy way of saying the
limit is the same as the equivalent control on the OS.  In the case of
WinTel that would be 32K or 64K characters.  The limit goes away when
dependence on peers disappears from Java.  Most of the way there with
Swing and should be "all the way" there in JDK 1.2.

If you can't wait, you'll need to roll your own text area.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
