Text entry

Is there anyway a text entry system similar to the one the SendOpenBook function call allows can be added? In particular the autoflow of text to the next line in the gump is what I would like to see. Taking text input one line at a time on scroll or other gumps is really frustrating. I'm guessing the answer is 'no' but I figured I'd ask anyway. My luck is the openbook text entry gump is a client side function.

Books are done client side yes.
However, HTML text gumps, will give some of that ability. It will auto put the text on new lines and such, and there is a flag to make it scrollable (if the text is to long to fit on the single area of the gump).

yep it'll allow up to 249 characters to be typed on a wordwrapped area.

Thanks.
Didn't know that about HTML gumps.

Sorry for the thread resurrection...
Is there any way I could get a text entry capable of supporting more than 249 characters?

Its hardcoded on the client side. You'd have to create multiple boxes and have those who enter the text split it between the boxes.
