There’s a command or term for text boxes right?
What I want to do is make a script that allows you to make a new post on a fourm or on a bulletin on myspace. You could call up the script with the voice command then type in a text box (how do I make them bigger?) what you wanted to post and then it would so you don’t have to even go to the website.
Instead of a text box you could try this, presuming that the variable with the text in is the_text:
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
set the_text to the text of the front document
end tell
This would allow you to even save often used texts as a txt file and you’d have a easy to use text box.
To enlarge a dialog text box, there is a very imperfect tecnique:
display dialog "hello" default answer return & return & return & return & return
This would give a pre-filled text box of 6 lines. Add or remove &returns to change the number of lines.
Hope this helped!
Ok cool is there a way to make the text from the
display dialog "hello" default answer return & return & return & return & return
script post to say these fourms in this topic? Thank you!

being a noob only means that your name begins with no and ends with ob.
