TIA,
Nope. That's the limit.
A dialog with that many characters is probably not a good interface choice,
IMO. Edit, pare. Be specific.
Users can't do anything with dialog displayed text anyway (like select, etc)
so perhaps you should be writing out to a file with that many characters to
show.
Dialogs are for specific, short, instructional or feedback messages...not
tomes of text. (But of course, you already know that. :)
(If you _really_ need to do that, break the display text into two or more
parts.)
