Does anybody know how to pop open the "About Landmark" window in LSL? It's the window that opens when you right click on a landmark in your inventory and click About Landmark. It opens up a window that displays the landmark info with the Teleport and Show Map buttons on the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

There isn't a LSL function that pops up most info dialogs in SL (good thing, too!). The main one that is available is the Map, which is popped up from a call to llMapDestination().

That said, there is a way to give a user a quick way to open a few other dialogs, but I don't know if the Landmark->About dialog is one of them. You do it by crafting a specially-formed URL that you tell the user in chat or IM, and they have to click on it. Here's more about it:

Note that it doesn't work for a number of residents, most likely due to the secondlife:// method not being properly registered, or blocked somehow.

For a while they made llMapDestination bring up the about window, which seemed more reasonable to me personally, but people freaked so they put it back.
