Just create the window the way you would any other stack, then set 
its style property to "palette". (You can do this in the message box 
or script, or in the stack's property inspector.)

A palette window can't be edited in the sense of using the pointer 
tool to move objects, etc., but it can have editable text fields and 
other objects.
