In JBuilder Std 1.0, there's a bug in the java.awt.TextArea logic.  If you
do a setCaretPosition(pos) to force the cursor to a place in the text, then
call getCaretPosition (), the latter returns different position number.  It
turns out that the SET counts newline characters, but the GET doesn't. 
When I recompiled my code using Sun's JDK 1.1.4, I found that GET was
properly counting newlines.  Is there a way to get the IDE to compile using
Sun's 1.1.4 rather than Borland's bundled 1.1.2?
