I've been using Jay Hodgdon's TextDialog XCMD (part of the Showdialog
Package) and am also working on an XCMD which takes a HyperTalk container
and turns it into a 'disposable' TEXT resource.  I make the resource on
the fly, and then dispose of it when done.  Great for feeding back
interactive stuff to a user.  Although, I am probably going to add a
switch to the external which would make the resource permanent, that way,
one could edit the text in HyperCard then send it off to the resource fork 
where it is a little more secure from novice users.
