Well, don't I feel foolish! I hadn't even thought of a JTextEditor. I 
knocked together a JTextArea within a JScrollPane that does the job 
reasonably well so far. Maybe I should spend a minute with JTextEditor and 
see if I like it better.....

Not at all. I haven't even thought about performance yet and probably won't 
have to since the table in question is small and likely to stay that way. 
The table will be initially filled with data but not MUCH data and I will 
add a row at a time as needed.
