OK, I guess a picture is worth apx 1,000 words: What I can do is the following: 

  ----------------------------------
  | 400x500 (write only) text area |
  ----------------------------------
   Label1: drop down 
   (user's input echo'd from Label1)
   Label2: drop down 
   (user's input echo'd from Label2)
   Select Directory
   (Text are with user's input dir echo'd)
   Label3: drop down
   (User's input echo'd from Label3)
            :                :

What I can not do is put anything on the same line, so as to save space. What does work is letting everything either sorta left justify or default to centered. And I can live with that, but I was hoping to make it look a bit more concise or 'clean'. Thanks!
