I'm doing simple chat application in core java (jdk 1.2.2 or 1.3).
In which I'm having chat rooms and private chat.

I'm using Canvas to print the messages and imoticons. I used
Canvas, because on canvas its easy to impliment font face, color,
bold, italic and print pictures such as imoticons (imotional icons).

Now I'm having a problem, I want to use cut, copy, paste and
hyperlink on the Canvas. But I dont know how to do that on Canvas.

Can anybody please tell me how to cut, copy, paste and hyperlink on
Canvas, Or should I use anyother component to print messages and all
other facilities & functionalities.
