[plt-scheme] plt web server question

The print textarea is locked because obviously user is not allowed to 
edit it. This cause the problem that user can't scroll it down either, 
and I don't know how to control that in Javascript. I search online but 
failed to find any useful information. One thing you can try is to 
unlock the textarea, maybe just before new data is written to the 
textarea, and lock it afterwards.
