I have a little script that I use to post very short entries to my blog. But those entries are usually longer than the default size of the text entry field in the “display dialog” type dialog box. Is there a way to either code this box to be bigger, or some different approach to do this? I don’t know how to use AppleScript Studio, which seems like one solution – is there something simpler?
there is:
display dialog "Enter long text:" default answer return & return & return & return & return & return
Wow, that is simpler! 
And it works great!
Cheers,
