The first method to have a help "button" is OK.
The hbox and flex method is very nice.

Is there a text editor to create messages in an alert box?
In the past I have had to use /n for newline and + and '

Well, just using text, not variables, would not be too hard...

Sample code:

moi.ui.alert( 'x1 = ' + x1 + ' cm' + '\n' + 'dValue = ' + dValue + ' cm' + '\n' + 'x0 = ' + x0 + ' cm' );

Hi Brian,

That's the main way to do it. Sometimes it can be good to build it up in smaller chunks like

str += '...';
str += '...';

But there is also a string formatter you can use like this:

var x1 = 5, dValue = 3, x0 = 8;
var msg = moi.ui.formatString( 'x1 = %1% cm\ndValue = %2% cm\nx0 = %3% cm', x1, dValue, x0 );
moi.ui.alert( msg );

So for that way you have one "template string" that contains placeholders %1% , %2%, etc.. which are replaced by the values passed after the format string.

That method reduces the amount of little fragments that the regular way uses.
