Is there a way of scrolling through a jTextArea (on a jScrollPane) to a
particular line?

I have say 100 lines in a jTextArea and would like to scroll the display
area down to say the 50th line programitically.  This would be similiar
to a "Find String" function.  I know what line that I need to scroll to,
but can not figure out how to scroll the jTextArea ( jScrollPane).

What I am looking for is a way to mimic pressing the Arrow Up or Arrow
Down go just "going" to a line..

Thanks
