What's wrong with my multi-line text editor?

I'm having trouble believing that the archaic text editor I'm currently dealing with is all BricsCAD has to offer.

My problem in a nutshell: I used the MTEXT command. I'm prompted to select two corner points, thereafter (where ACAD switches to it's editor) I am only given the option of typing my text at the command prompt. This is 1980's esq CAD...

Thus far, I've been having trouble with a lot of variables set to strange defaults (similar to ACAD but worse). Hopefully this is just a matter of switching the right system variable... right?
