#### Scrolled Output
There is a scrolled version of Popups should you have a lot of information to display.
Show a scrolled Popup window containing the user's text that was supplied. Use with as many items to print as you
want, just like a print statement.

yes_no=False,
auto_close=False,

The Popup call PopupNoWait or PopupNonBlocking will create a popup window and then immediately return control back to you. All other popup functions will block, waiting for the user to close the popup window.
This function is very handy for when you're **debugging** and want to display something as output but don't want to change the programs's overall timing by blocking. Think of it like a `print` statement. There are no return values on one of these Popups.
