What Paul said in his post is that you *can* enter returns in the

Well taking your script as the test ...
display dialog "write something" default answer ,
"text here" buttons {"yes", "no", "maybe"}
... on my machine running 10.1.5, I am quite unable to type a
carriage return in the text field with or without a default button.
I tried it before and I've just tried it again, and I've tried every
possible way. Ptrssing carriage return does not even delete
highlighted 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.
It seems to me more likely that some other feature of your set-up is
different from mine and leading to this. With so much that is flaky
in 10.1.5, it's hard to know quite what. I do like the new system
and I think it's go a tremendous future but I do wish they'd actually
developed it past the alpha stage before taking my money!
