I want to use a JTextArea for output only, and I want the last line I
append to be visible at the bottom of the JTextArea.  I also want a
user to be able to scroll-up to look at eariler messages if he needs
to, otherwise I would just use a JLabel.

I can't find any way to programatically scroll to the bottom after
I use append to add a line at the bottom.  It seems like it should
be simple, but apparently it isn't.
