input text right to left

Hi,

I am new to java. Am creating a math page for teachers. I have math
problems where the input needs to be right to left (e.g. adding two several
digit numbers in a column). Is there an easy way to specify that the text
insertion point needs to move from right to left instead on the standard
left to right? I tried the direction property, but that doesn't seem to
work.

What kind of "math page" do you mean? HTML as part of a web application?
Part of an applet? Please specify, as the answer depends on this.

The possibilities I can think of are:
- Part of an HTML page:
Look at the HTML specification, or one of the dozens reference manuals
on HTML.
- Part of a Swing interface (either an application or an applet):
Have a look at the Java API for ypou input elements. Especially
alignment.
