Updated this script, I recommend anyone who is using it to get the latest version.
I overlooked the fact that I didn't alias a method in the original one and this could potentially cause incompatibilities with others scripts.
Also whenever a choice window never had any help text associated with it, it would briefly appear then disappear really quickly... Just quick enough not to be annoying but slow enough for it to be noticable. I couldn't really fix that since that has to do with the hidden window class; so instead I've animated it so it isn't noticable anymore.
By animate, I mean that it now flies into view when it's being used.

So it looks a little nicer and doesn't appear randomly anymore, plus any incompatibility it may have created has been crushed... that's my update. :)
