GUI, buttons, label.

Also, wrapping the text in the text area (actually a set of one-row labels) cna be tricky if you can't script. But search "text wrapping function" in the forums there's a routine somewhere by monkey_05_06.

But really I'd suggest you use a module that directly allows you to customize the dialog interface. I've never done it myself and I have no idea how you'd read dialog options from the game's resources to display them in your own GUI. But it would be one of those:

Not necessary. Just use one single big label, and the text will wrap automatically.
