Placing text in a textarea after calling actionListener.

Question

Hi Hope somebody will be of some help... Anyway i have a program that has arady all AWT components ( Buttons , radiobuttons , checkboxes etc and a textarea placed in the center of the applet. At present when an action is carried out on 1 of the buttons it prints information i want to the dos screen but i am trying to change this so it writes the information to the text area in the middle of my applet. Hard to explain but here is where i have it writing to the dos screen.
Any help or demonstrations much appreciated.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
     if (evt.getSource()==go ) {
System.out.println("Forward (button clicked)");
printActionEvent (evt);
void printActionEvent (ActionEvent evt)
System.out.println (" EventObject: src = " + evt.getSource ());
System.out.println (" AWTEvent: id = " + evt.getID ()
+ " . . . . . . . (ACTION_PERFORMED = "
+ ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED + ")");
System.out.println (" ActionEvent: cmd = " + evt.getActionCommand ());
System.out.println (" ActionEvent: modf= " + evt.getModifiers ());
System.out.println (" ActionEvent: parm= " + evt.paramString ());

void appendActionEvent(ActionEvent str)
TextArea reportArea = new TextArea("Dumbass",20, 30);You are reinitialising your textArea every time ! Juste make
a "new TextArea()" once (in the constructor) and then, call
.append("your message\n") each time in your function.
Hope this helps,
