displaying text in a "text area"

[dexter195]

i want to put text into a 'text area' when i press a button. i can do this but when i press the button again it replaces the text.
this is how i want to display the text.

First Line
Second Line
Third etc

ive used the 'insert(string, int)' class
text1.insert("First Line", 2);
but this is what i get

FiSecond Line

ive tried using just
text1.insert("First Line"
but this just deletes what was already there.

thanks for the help

Hi,

Why dont you show the StringBuffer in the textarea. And append the String to StringBuffer, and at the every end of the line add '\n'. So that it will show the strings in the subsequent lines.
