I'm looking for a way to display a body of text in a separate window that won't be modal (while I do other stuff in the main window).

Exclamation() would work great if it wasn't modal.
The Multiple main windows example in the GUI tutorial might also work, but it doesn't seem to do embedded newlines (e.g., "line 1\nline2\nline3\n...");
(Also could not get DocEdit or TextCtrl to work for this, and tried various flavors of Prompt() from CtrlLib (with dlg.Run(false), dlg.Execute(), but they all seemed modal in performance, and dlg.OpenMain() and dlg.Open() threw Assertion failed).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. This shouldn't be this hard.
