Woohoo! I figured it out, thanks to um..I forget who it was that gave me the info in the JavaScript Help Forum!

Simply the basis of it is

I know what you mean... Vorm had it wrong in his code.

Max that wasn't the question I was asking. I know how to put text into a text area. But I want it to be empty upon load. Let them type in schtuff and then they can click a link, and it would paste some text in the textarea at the spot of the cursor.

I am going to post this question in the Javascript forum as well.

the syntax for is:

<textarea>
Text goes here
</textarea>

how will this be used?

if you use perl, it will be server side and slower
if you use javascript it'a be client side (and for me, harder to write)

Well, you could print all the text to a file, and refer the file into the textarea.

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(HEH, ">>/path/to/file.txt");
print HEH "$texttogointextarea";
close(HEH);

Then have PERL file like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(HEH, ">>/path/to/file.txt");
@text=;
close(HEH);

print <

heh

Hope that works.
