English Amiga Board - View Single Post - [ReAction, Intuition] Making "HELP or ABOUT" dialog box or window.

Hi,
Could you suggest me a way to create a separate holp/about
dialog box or window?

In my GUI I have a button called "HELP". If user press it I want to open
new window with scroll list containing some text and explanations.

The first thing that came up to my mind is just to open a new window,
and put a scroll list there with all the text.. is that correct?
Should I also point somehow that this window is the child of main window?

My GUI works both with ReAction and Intuition,
I mean if the ReAction is not available it creates standard
Intuition gui. So I need to implement both solutions..
