Display Dialog Text

Subject: Display Dialog Text
From: Domains4Days <email@hidden>

For some reason the display dialog command (listed below) only seems to
store about a paragraph worth of text - the rest gets cut-off.

Question: what is the best way to display a dialog and allow someone to
paste in lots of text ( maybe several pages worth), and then transfer the
entire contents to a variable?

Thanks in advance - RevDave

-code start

set message_text to "Paste or Type Some Stuff"
display dialog "Enter the text" default answer message_text
copy the text returned of result as string to texttest
set the clipboard to "bub " & texttest

- code end
