im using a JTextArea to display text messages. im appending strings line by
line.

as the message grows beyond a certain limit (say 40 lines of text or beyond
the viewing area) the messages at the top should get deleted and the new
messages should be appended to the bottom.

can any one give me possible solution or an idea !
thanks for even just considering it! and THANKS for the solution in
advance!!
