Ask dialogs with unicode prompts

Pls ignore this. I was not in the LC IDE which *does* display formatted text
in the 'Ask' dialog.

Slap wrist.

Original msg:
The docs say that the ability to provide formatted text for the 'Ask' and
'Answer' dialog prompts was introduced in version 2.0.

I am presenting an html string for use in both dialogs like this by way of
example...

   ask "<p><b>Please</b> try again!</p>" - This does not display as
expected

   ask password "<p><b>Please</b> try again!</p>" - This does not
display as expected

   answer "<p><b>Please</b> try again!</p>" - This displays as expected


So the 'ask' is broken and looks like it has never worked correctly (going
back to v2.3, the earliest I have). Also in need of 'repair' are the 'ask
file' and 'ask folder' dialogs.


Does anyone apply unicode like this? How do you cope? Do you create your own
dialogs?
