You have 2 choices (maybe more...)

1. Set the texsize of these lines of fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "Answer 
Dialog"
manually...

set the textsize of line 1 to (the num of lines of messagetext) of fld 
1...
...

2. Create your own "Answer Dialog" :-)
(Its is nothing more than a "modal" stack...)

Then you can use the global property "the dialogdata" to set
and get the value clicked in your custom "Answer Dialog"...

Drop a line if you need more info/assistance :-)
