Lionel, I too was unfamiliar with the pop-up boxes. However, if you go into Options --> Customize --> General Tab, look in the right hand side of the window. You have the option to allow a pop up box to open . Mine was turned off until I read this message thread and I just turned it on. It's pretty cool!
To all those saying that their popup box is squished, right now I'm on a Net book with a 10 inch screen. I've got Legacy maximixed to full screen and the popup box is definitely readible. It's not squished at all.
