Sounds like a good tool!
Dan, it sounds like framepop.el will also do what you want.
It's description follows:
Defines temp-buffer-show-function to display buffers in a dedicated
temporary frame (and so requires a display which can accomodate
separate frames). The frame is automatically shrink-wrapped to just
contain the buffer (restricted to a maximum and minimum
size). Buffers thus affected include *Help*, completion buffers and
buffer listings.
Commands are provided for manipulating the FramePop frame:
scrolling, resizing, window manager functions, and also a facility
for copying the displayed buffer. You need never lose that handy
*Help* buffer again!
You'll find it with google search (or email me and I'll send a copy
along with the setup I use).
