You can easily make a subVI into a pop up window -- In VI properties, go to "Window Appearance", and make sure that when you customize that "Show Front Panel when Called" and "Close afterwards" is selected.
Then, in your subVI, have the VI wait for a user to press a button (or any action that you want the user to do with the popup)
I've attached a sample popup dialog box I created that just waits for a user to click 'OK' or 'Cancel' and then outputs if the user clicked the cancel button.
Your sample vi sounds exactly like the kind of thing I would like to see. However, I only have labview7.1 which won't open it? Do you have a version of your program that is compatible with Labview7.1? Many thanks.
