[MacPerl] 256 character limit?

[Please forgive a newbie question]

There seems to be a 256 character limit in the "prompt" portion of both 
&MacPerl'Ask(PROMPT, DEFAULT)
   and
&MacPerl'Pick(PROMPT, VALUES)

is this inherent in Mac dialog boxes? 
Can anyone suggest a work-around?

I would like to make a rudimentary "editing" facility with "Ask" so that
the default
value sent to it can be changed by the user. Unfortunately, a lot of the
values have more
than 256 characters.

Thank you for your time,
Daniel Fisher
