Any suggestion??
Hi Andrea,
If you don't mind to use a third part OSAX, it is possible to widen a dialog
box so a string fits in its proper line. Give a try to the following
(requires Akua Sweets 1.4.1):
set long_string to "# idx r brill
rho brill_m rho_m"
-- change the numbers for your preference:
display info "Show long_string" message long_string located at {100, 100}
pause for 5 with seconds timing
display info "Show long_string" with disposal
The display info command includes other parameters to play with. However,
this approach has a somehow limited utility - as its name reveals, the
command wasn't designated for user interaction. Sorry if this is an
inconvenience for you.
I hope this helps,
Saludos (Regards),
