Tom,

You can imbed the ASCII characters for line feed  - "\n"
I have included an example below:

ta.append("\n"+ "some string");
or
ta.append("\n"+ someVariable);

The second example works if you have previously defined ta as a TextArea and
someVariable as a String. Sample below:

public TextArea txtArea;      // text area to display something
public String someVariable;   // String variable

Hope this helps.  Don
