I started using the JTextArea control in my applets. Seems all the good controls are in the "javax.swing" package. You pass in the height to the JTextArea constructor. However it seems that the thing will allow more than that many rows in the control. The control seems only bounded by the applet window size. What the heck?You use newlines in the JTextArea text to make the thing jump to the next row in the control. One thing is strange though. The default behavior does not seem to provide anything other than the text in the control. There is no border or scrollbar or anything. Maybe there is some other control that is more like the Windows control I am used to.
