When you see it in the Properties Palette it offers up a small Browse button. Tom commented that he thought it would be better if it was an Edit button like the one that Model Text use, I'm inclined to agree.
Clicking the browse button opens the Edit Text dialog.
I'm still waiting for my download to finish so I can get it installed myself and check it out more closely. I'm curious how it will behave if the parameter is used in a schedule or tag. I haven't seen any evidence that Autodesk is taking credit for this addition in the What's New information they've made available so far.

So it IS possible to get new Parameter Types! ;-)
Maybe there's still hope for that "Date" parameter after all.
Right, Tom?
Yep Dave...still dateless in Revit after 13 years! Is the multiline text a hint of things to come??? Dtext vs Mtext anyone?
Really wish they would have added drop down functionality as a 'multi-choice' type parameter. Lots of places this could be used to standardize text input, such as Fire Rating parameters that are used in View Filters.
Yes - I'd be interesting knowing if Multi-Line text increases the height of rows in a schedule? Screenshots, anyone?
