In addition to this, if you want it to save your answers:

[ask ({question}) and wait]
[add (answer) to ({list})]

In addition to this, please don't use all caps.

And furthermore, please don't refer to it as a text box or risk me glomping on your ankle.

New Scratchers may not necessarily know what everything is called. Instead of being nasty in your reply, why not let the newcomer know what the "text box" is actually called?

Actually, "Text Box" is pretty standard nomenclature in many computer languages outside of Scratch, see this:
