stringvar = String.format("%s", eventvar.getActionCommand());
outputitem.setText(stringvar);
 
}

This all works fine, and what it does is allow you to input text in the JTextField that is ouptut in the JTextArea. The problem is, I want to beable to input text, have it output in the textarea, and then have it let you input text again and have it output on the next line down in the textarea. I need to to beable to keep doing this as well to beable to scroll as the textarea fills up.

Please help,
Thanks
