: multi_edit_box

Display an edit box with more than one line.     DCL Active Tile

This active tile displays a multiline edit box tile, which allows the user to type additional lines of text. Text in the multi_edit_box tile is left-justified. The program appends the null character (\0) to the end of the string.

The multi_edit_box tile is unique to the implementation of DCL included with Bricscad.
