Is there within Automate any sort of visual scrolling text container (widget?) that can display perhaps a few hundred or a thousand characters? I don't see the means to do so within a flow. It appears text must be exported to an external file and then the flow must end before the text can be made visible in another app. 
Thanks

No such widget, the best alternative would be using a notification, or using a custom widget plug-in app, e.g. KWGT:

Thank you. It looks like the confirmation dialog, which is shown directly, might be my best choice, at least for a limited number of lines. If further immediate editing of the data is needed, the multiline text input dialog could be substituted.

The Dialog web can also be used, to create custom dialogs.

Thanks, I will investigate the use of the Dialog web as well.
