how do you dynamically get rid of text in a TextArea?

There is a method doing exactly what you want. Learn to read the API spec.
Look through http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html#method_summary
and don't forget the inherited methods (of JTextComponent) just below.

thank you very much, I HAD looked in javadocs.. didn't know could do setText("") and it would get rid of what is already there... thank you..
