Assuming you're talking about the AWT TextArea class: I extend TextArea in a
subclass, and call the constructor as follows to get a line-wrapped,
scrollbar-less text area.

    public VTextArea()
    {
        super( "", 0, 0, TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE );  //this ensures we
display no scrollbars and have linewrap

        ... rest of constructor

    }

Do that and you'll be laughing.
