[TYPO3-dev] ExtJs in the TYPO3 BE how-to questions?

I'm coming back belatedly to this thread. I started trying out both the 
dialogs and windows defined in notifications.js, but I'm stumbling on a 
problem. The content I need to display is quite large. It is taken from 
some hidden div in the BE module itself (I know, I should probably load 
it using ExtDirect) and it makes the window higher than the screen 
height. How can I limit the height but make the area inside the window 
scrollable, so that all content can be seen?

As an aside, if I go the ExtDirect way, how do I get the content into 
the window?

Cheers
