Screen character limitation, escapting special characters

1
Hello,

I have two simple questions.

1.) How does one escape special characters using the Screen function in
PTB?

For example, if I want to display a single quote ('), could I precede it
by a special charcter in my string array that would tell Screen to take
that character literally rather than treating it as a special character?

2.) What is the standard way of displaying a paragraph of text using
PTB?

I am trying to simply display a longish paragraph using PTB 3 in Matlab
7. When doing so, I get the following error message (most pertinent
snippet from larger message):

"specific description: Cut corners and TextBounds will not accept a
string longer than 255 characters"

I am calling Screen in the following way:

"Screen('DrawText', myWindow, myLongParagraphStringArray, 500, 400);"

I suppose that this is not the standard way of displaying a long
paragraph of text. What, then, is the standard way of doing this?

Thanks!

-Joe
