Thanks for sharing.

Just a note which is more for the wider readership: a search 
of the MERS site (see a list of search sites for JBuilder -- 
http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/ngsearch.html) -- for the 
keywords "scroll jtextpane" yields the answer.  True, 
jtextpane != jtextarea, but they are related, so it's not too
much of a leap of imagination, which is what all searching, 
whether in the library or on the net, requires.  

The point is that there is a great wealth of info which has
been archived by the search sites, and I'm guessing that they
are under utilized.  My intention is not to be critical for 
asking a question in the newsgroup, but to point out that 
there are other sources.  Especially if you are in a hurry, 
or it's over a weekend, which 3:58 pm Friday almost qualifies as.

As a member of TeamB, it's sort of my responsibility to track 
down answers.  Sometimes, I'll see a question which has been asked 
many times, but I seem to have forgotten the solution.  So, 
it's off to the search sites, and within a few tries, there they 
are, multiple postings of solutions to multiple variants of the 
same question.
