I have been away from this newsgroup for a little while, but longer than I
intended.  I was inundated with spam and "Sven" virus messages.  Clearly,
this sudden increase in the undesirable mail was due to me returning to
newsgroups.  One of the servers that I use requires that real email
addresses be used in all news groups.  So I now switched to another
(valid!) email address at yahoo.com. My old email address is no longer
valid :-(

I would like to continue the discussion in this thread.  Whilst it is a
dialog, rather than wider conversation, it has tought me a lot!

However, it has developed into two topices - 

1. The use of jTextArea component for program input.
2. Merits and pitfalls of using the same component for both input and
output.

I plan to edit the comments into two groups and post it as new threads, if
that is acceptable.  Please let me know if it is NOT acceptable - I am very
conscious of netiquette in this usenet group.  Also, if you have followed
the discussion, would you indicate that you are/are not interested?
