Prior to AppleScript 1.9.2, "display dialog" only dealt with 255
characters of text. 1.9.2 increases that to be more or less

Now that this is possible, it would be good to add window size
and location points to the command.... Maybe increase the number
of buttons also (a lot of people want more choices for things
like tests.

And allow the scripter to specify a serif, mono-spaced font, please. There are SO MANY good reasons for doing this, involving everything from clearly differentiating between zero and the letter "O", one and the letter "l", allowing for simple spacing-based alignment of text, legibility at small point-sizes and screen resolutions, etc, etc, etc, etc....

P.S. I am so tired of Lucida Grande.
