The description field of the customize/commands dialog should be resizable in height and/or width. I want to be able to describe all arguments of a script command there.
Can you provide a screenshot of the dialog you are referring to?
I (at least) don't know what description field you are talking about. o)
This field seems to be readonly?
It also seems to display script descriptions or command labels, so you probably cannot enter multiline text (anyway)?
But for script commands and custom commands, it probably makes sense to show the command template automatically?
Much question marks! o)
The description field isn't supposed to be where you put your script's instructions. It's just for a short description of what a pre-made command does. People using a command and modifying its arguments are unlikely to look at the Customize / Commands tab; they'll be using the Button Editor instead. Customize / Commands is more for pre-made commands which less technical users drag to their toolbars without editing.
We could make it so that clicking the Help button in the Button Editor when the cursor is on a line for a script command opens a web browser and navigates to the script's URL, if you want a way to show help for script commands. (The same URL that's already in the script add-ins Preferences page.)

I'll follow the convention and reduce the command description to a short sentence. It would possibly make sense to also add a clickable link to the script's URL to the command description.
