     This has probably been asked a lot, but humour me...

     I'm trying to put some text into a ScrollView, in the following fashion:

     [text_out setText:"foo!\n"];
     ...
     ** now I want to append some more text **

     The $64 question is what is the "best" way to do this?  I can't really
see a way short of sucking the existing text into a string and strcat()-ing
the new text on the end.  I fooled around with setSel::, but the new text
always overwrites the old.  I'm sure there's an easy/elegant way to do this, 
but I haven't seen it in any of the examples.  *HELP*!!!
