Dialog box with multiline input?

[RESlyder]

I am working on automating one of our more tedious graphic types, a typed up deposition, and ran into a snag. I have a dialog box pop up that the user populates. They put in the Deponent's name, position, and then I have a large area for them to paste in the text they would like to insert into the graphic. Unfortunately it only pastes the first line of the text. Is there a way to input more than one line into a dialog box? Initial searches lead me to believe that prompt inputs can only be one line, but I have to imagine there is a way. Any ideas? Not having any issues putting the text in the box, the issue is pasting into the dialog.

Thanks!

Here is a trimmed down version of the portion of the dialog I am having issues with:

The content GRP is the area I was planning to use for the multi-line text blocks.

// Export dialog
    this.dlg = new Window('dialog', 'Create new depo layer'); 

    // PANEL to hold options
    var msgPnl = this.dlg.add('panel', undefined, 'Create new deposition layer'); 

    // content GRP
    var contentGrp = msgPnl.add('group', undefined, '')
    contentGrp.oreintation = 'row';
    contentGrp.alignment = [ScriptUI.Alignment.LEFT, ScriptUI.Alignment.TOP]

    var contentSt = contentGrp.add('statictext', undefined, 'Content:'); 
    contentSt.size = [100,20]

    var contentEt = contentGrp.add('edittext', undefined, ''); 
    contentEt.size = [ 300,500 ];

    var btnPnl = this.dlg.add('group', undefined, ''); 
    btnPnl.orientation = 'row'

    btnPnl.cancelBtn = btnPnl.add('button', undefined, 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});
    btnPnl.cancelBtn.onClick = function() {this.dlg.close() };

    // OK button
    btnPnl.okBtn = btnPnl.add('button', undefined, 'Create Single Depo Layer', {name:'ok'});
    btnPnl.okBtn.onClick = function() { 
            //add the textPull content in
            var textPullBox = docRef.textFrames.getByName("textPull");
            if(contentEt.text != ''){
               textPullBox.contents = contentEt.text;
            }
            var paraStyle;
            if (contentEt.text.match(/Q./) || contentEt.text.match(/A./)){
                paraStyle = docRef.paragraphStyles.getByName("DepoPull");
                }
            else{
                paraStyle = docRef.paragraphStyles.getByName("TextPull");
                }
            //apply the paragraph style
            for(tp=0; tp<textPullBox.paragraphs.length-1; tp++) {
                paraStyle.applyTo(textPullBox.paragraphs[tp], true);
            }

            //close dialog box
            this.dlg.close();
    };    

    this.dlg.show();

// change to this:
var contentEt = contentGrp.add('edittext', undefined, '', {multiline: true, scrolling: true});

Hope it helps your efforts.
