Hello,

I have a GUI that I programmed and one of the Panels in it contains a
JTextArea. I set it to scroll with the following code:

this.outPanel.add(new JScrollPane(display));

It works fine except that when new data is added though the append()
method, it is below the box. I then have to scroll down to see it.

Is there a way to auto-scroll the box so that all new data is shown
and the user can scroll UP to see the old data?

Thanks in advance!
