Formatting the text of an "ask" prompt

Is there a way to format the text font and color and the bacgkground color of an "ask" prompt?

I know that an "answer" prompt may be formatted like this:

answer ( "<font color=" & thecolor & "> lalalala </font>") .....

but the same does not work for the ask prompt.

I have also tried taking the "formattedtext" of a field to put as the string that is displayed as the ask prompt, but it seems to strip the formatting from it anyway.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think I remember having this issue also. I think I ended up applying HTMLText to the dialog.

Thanks, I have since found the solution. All you have to do is set the properties of the stack "ask dialog" or "answer dialog".
