my app logs to a text edit box, but how do i get the cursor to always follow the text???

i tried the following but it does not work:

// end is the length of the text
selectionRec.selStart = end;
selectionRec.selEnd = end;
SetControlData(logField, kControlEntireControl, kControlEditTextSelectionTag, sizeof(selectionRec),&selectionRec);
// then i draw the control..

How do you draw the control afterwards?

Im beginning to think that i am using the wrong textedit box, which should i use? when building the interface with interface builder, i chose the little text edit box and resized it big enough to show an application log. my program is a gui for a little server app that simply starts and stop the server. It pipes all the server output to the text edit box. I currently have two problems:

1) the cursor does not follow the appended text
2) if i paste large amounts of text into the text edit the prog crashes
