> display dialog will collect one liners, is there a way to get
multi-line responses via a dialog box?

Run this:

set big_display to ""
repeat 255 times

-- set screen size to IMAX theatre

set big_display to big_display & return
end repeat

display dialog "" default answer big_display


Yea Gods! That's alarming.

Exactly what I asked for, yes, but it does remind me to be more careful with my wishes, in case they all come true.


thanks, Arthur.
