Dean,
there is nothing ready-made available to do this. I would use a non-edible,
pardon, non editable text-area with a (closely positioned) editable text
field at the bottom. A (IMHO) not so good solution would be to add a
key-listener that inquires the position of the cursor at each keystroke and
refrains from passing on the key if it's not the bottom line.
