java.awt.TextArea (JDK 1.0)

This class is a GUI component that displays and optionally edits multi-line text. The appendText(), insertText(), and replaceText() provide various techniques for specifying text to appear in the TextArea. Many important TextArea methods are defined by the TextComponent superclass.
