Karen, yes, you can do it but it is not how I suspect you - or I - believe it should work:
Dialog 'text' vResponse=35 vEndKey 2 will give you a 2 line box that you can enter up to 70 characters in. I used to make extensive use of a one line entry in my Dos version and I would have spent hours trying to fathom this out in Windows without your post. Razzak, is this right or is this something that needs to be reported as a bug?
