For reasons that are totally my own, I am going to need a way of inputting a text string which is likely to be hundreds, even thousands of characters long, all of which will be necessary. I could use an input box, but I remember reading that there's a way of making a big text box, that looks something like this:
(cool use of dm tags, huh?) I think it had something to do with Topic(), which is not one of my strong points. Thanks in advance.

You're probably referring to-
input() as message
It won't necessarily contain such a humongous string, but then you can always split it. Anyway, for the full list of input types, look here: http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/info.html#/verb/arguments (using a verb argument is basically like using input()) | |
Instead of input(something) as text,
You might use input(something) as message
Also, with 4.0 interfaces, you could make a window and create an input control to your own size preferences, set it to multi-line, and you're good to go.
