CRLF in a textarea

[William Isenberger <isen@axisweb.com>]

When adding text to a textarea object like this:
  document.form[0].textAreaThing.value += 'I am line one\nI am line two';
the \n (newline) doesn't give the desired effect. It doesn't wrap the text
to the next line. I have also tried \x13\x10 (CRLF) instead of the newline
escape. It doesn't work either. Can anyone shed some light? Is there a way
to force wrapping of text in a textarea object?
