I would like to see the text displayed as:
1234 Oak Street
Some City, Some State 12345
Using the 'Return' when inputting the text closes the dialog window rather than starting a new line. Doing it in 2 segments "What is the street address?" and "What are the city, state and zip?" is not practical for what I am doing. Is it possible to do what I want, and if so how?
I haven't the slightest idea how to do that, but it was so interesting that I did a little experimenting. Here's something that may help ...
display dialog "Enter ..." default answer "street_address" & return & "city, state zip" default button 1 set response to text returned of the result display dialog response buttons {"OK"} default button 1
The 'default button 1' at the end of line 1 does not work as I expected. (Could be a bug?) But it does let you enter the data correctly!
