You remember correctly. Any Eudora users out there who have the Super
Sleek Settings plug-in installed can look at the sleek attributions
to see this dynamic text entries in action.
For example, the reply attribution is coded as below
At ^3 ^1, ^0 wrote:
which takes the dynamic text (parsed) from the appropriate field to
produce the attribution below.

If I remember correctly, historically dialogs under Mac OS used to
use the format "^0" to represent dynamic text content. In other
works, when you were building a dialog for a program you would set
any text that you wanted the program to be able to modify with a ^
and a number. Then when you were accessing the dialog through the
program you could run the command ParamText to modify up to four of
those constructions (^0, ^1, ^2, ^3).
For example, you would build this into text in a dialog box:
"I want ^0 to go to the store"
You would then call:
ParamText("Bob, "", "", "");
Which would cause the text in the dialog to display as:
"I want Bill to go to the store"
So it looks like you are running into this problem due to an old
feature. I believe that this method is still used for Carbon and
for all I know it may be used behind the scenes in Cocoa also.
You can read more about it here:

display dialog "^0^1^2^3"

wondering if display dialog supports a hidden "paramtext" parameter?
