Please add a loadFile method to groovy.ui.Console for ease of use.

Currently, fileOpen handles the task of loading the file and initializing the text area.

Please add a method

void loadScriptFile(File scriptFile) {
inputArea.text = scriptFile.readLines().join('\n')
setDirty(false)
inputArea.caretPosition = 0
}

and change fileOpen accordingly to

void fileOpen(EventObject evt = null) {
scriptFile = selectFilename()
if (scriptFile != null)

{ loadScriptFile(scriptFile); }

}

The loadScriptFile method isn't strictly necessary but eases the use of Console in an embedded environment.
