I tried this, as well as textArea1.print(g) and I got only a blank
page.  I get the toolkit from the frame, get a PrintJob from the
Toolkit (passing the frame).  I can't see that this works.  My
O'Reilly AWT reference says that these methods will not print the
content of the text area, only the "look" of them (which will be
blank).  they suggest using fontMetrics and drawing the text on the
graphics directly.  Is this correct?
