Setting textArea and Button Size

Question

Hi with a TextArea is there a way to set the text area so that you only can type in the box and the words will wrap when they get to the end? I dont want the text that a user types to keep on extending until the user click enter which brings them to the next line. I want it so that when the user hits the end of the text box in the applet they are brought to the next line of the text box without having to hit enter. i dont want them to have to scroll to see all of thier text.
Also can I use a constructor to resize the default buttons created with java? i want my buttons to be a ceratain square size to fill the applet. The Default Buttons are small but I want my Buttons to fill a section of my panel. Here is my code. I am using a grid layout.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.math.*;
public class TextChat extends Applet
   private Button new_chat, begin;
   private Label errors;
   private TextArea text_top, text_bottom;
   public void init()
      //Set Layout
      setLayout( new GridLayout(3, 1, 10, 10));
      text_top = new TextArea();
      text_bottom = new TextArea();
      add (text_top);
      add(MidPanel());
      add (text_bottom);
   // Set Mid Panel
   public Panel MidPanel()
      Panel p = new Panel( new GridLayout(1, 3, 5, 5) );
      //Set up Buttons
      new_chat = new Button("New Chat");
      begin = new Button("Begin");
      errors = new Label("Errors: ");
      Panel p1 = new Panel();
      p1.add(new_chat);
      Panel p2 = new Panel();
      p2.add(begin);
      Panel p3 = new Panel();
      p3.add(errors);
      p.add(p1);
      p.add(p2);
      p.add(p3);
      return p;
}Thanks

I tried this
TextArea text_top = new TextArea();
TextArea text_bottom = new TextArea();
text_top.setLineWrap(true);I get a error
method setLineWrap (boolean)
It points to the text_top"."setLinewarp as the
error?
I looked up examples and they all used swing
ThanksThe examples might use swing but you are using AWT!!
change to
JTextArea text_top = new JTextArea();
JTextArea text_bottom = new JTextArea();
text_top.setLineWrap(true);
