Hey,

So I want to make a bang object open a window (which will have some text about the project, help info, blah blah...) Sounds simple, but eludes me.

Check out the thispatcher object. You can send messages there to open/close/resize... windows

Did that, and only figured out how to CLOSE a patch window... :( But getting close!
