This is the inaugural tip!

REALbasic implements drag and drop extensively and here is a quick and
easy way to utilize this to have a window open when the user clicks a
button:

1) Start a new project
2) add a window (the default will be: Dialog1)
3) Drag a StaticText Control into Dialog1
4) Type "Hello, World!"
5) Close Dialog1
6) Drag a PushButton Control into Window1
7) Drag Dialog1 from the Project Window and drop it onto PushButton1.
8) Run
9) Click the Untitled button
10) Your Dialog will appear!

Of course, this procedure is much more powerful than simply replicating
the standard Hello, World programming exercise and can be used in all
areas of REALbasic!
