Rails - Apr 2006 - text_area and :value

I''m trying to use the text_area() method and would like to populate the
text block with initial text.
According to this: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3752 there was a 
fix put in place, but I''m ont sure how to integrate this.

How do I get the :value parameter to show up within the textbloc instead 
of the html attributes?

Just a guess, but I think one of these will work:

text_area( <stuff> "value" => "YOUR TEXT HERE")

or

text_area( <stuff> :value => "YOUR TEXT HERE")

When I do this...

<%= text_area( "post", "textarea", :value =>
"YOUR TEXT HERE") %>

 I get...

<textarea cols="40" id="post_textarea"
name="post[textarea]" rows="20"
value="YOUR TEXT HERE"></textarea>

not...

<textarea cols="40" id="post_textarea"
name="post[textarea]" rows="20" >
YOUR TEXT HERE </textarea>
