Well, your code that sets the *default answer* with returns included

post. [blah]
If you run this in OS 9
display dialog "write something" default answer "text here" buttons
{"yes","no", "maybe"}
and then when the dialog pops up, type some text and press enter,
precisely nothing happens. The dialog persists, and the text in the
window stays put. The "return" doesn't become part of the text
entered.
Just so. If the default answer contains no return it is not
possible to enter returns in the field, whether you are in OS X,
Classic or 9.
What Paul said in his post is that you *can* enter returns in the
field in X, even if there are no returns in the default text. And on
the X machine in front of me, I see exactly the behaviour he
describes, which is different from the way it works in 9. What
version of X are you running? I'm running 10.1.5 and it works as
Paul described it. Are you running Jaguar? If so, that may explain it.
