This way a dialog box could be used for e.g. bibliographic entries. Fritz

The DI1() input boxes are currently limited to one line; no one has before asked for multiple lines. The width of the input box depends upon the width of the overall dialog box. To make the dialog box extra wide, place tab characters into the title or create a dummy text line consisting of just tab characters. Ted.

I don't either. The dummy text line i a nice workaround and gives me approx. 140 visible chars per field, quite enough for a single bibliographic field. Thanks, Fritz Dr. Friedrich Heberlein, Akad.
