Newbie: non-modal dialog boxes, multi-line text fields

Hello all,

Maybe I'm venturing into an area where I'd be better served by another
language, but I have a few questions about dialog boxes:

First, is there a way I can make a dialog box non-modal? All the examples
I've seen have only used modal dialog boxes, which are a bit of a pain to
deal with.

Second, how can I put multi-line text input fields in a dialog box?
Specifically, can I specify the height and width of some such field? I've
never done any "real" Macintosh programming, so I'm not sure what the rules
are regarding which UI widgets can go in what (i.e., if it's even possible
to stick a multi-line text field into a dialog), but it seems logical enough
(someone please enlighten me if it's not).

Am I trying to do too much user interaction with AS? Should I just give in
and learn C?

Thanks!

Michael
