PythonWin

[tkpmep at hotmail.com]

I have a Python program that collects user input using

msg = "Enter the full path and name of the file to be processed: "
answer = raw_input(msg)

If I run it in IDLE, the question is splashed across the execution
window, and if it is long, simply wraps to the next line. Most
importantly, it is intelligible, because I see the entire message. I
enter my answer on the next line, and once again, I can see the entire
path and file name, even if it is longer than long.

However, if I run it in ActivePython's PythonWin, a small message box
pops up, with hardly any space to diplay msg and a smallish space into
which I can type my answer. How can I force PythonWin to get its input
from the execution window or to enlarge its message box sufficiently to
display the entire question?
