Well, I've gotten started on this, and I've gotten this far. Right now, the list is hard-coded, but I would prefer to get it to be an expandable list (like the classes on the referenceroot screen). I'm still working out the monster file organization, so I haven't gotten into it too heavy.

Now, the problem I've run into is getting it to show just the monsters from one source. I'm trying to break the monsters into files with one book's worth of monsters per file.
I've tried adding a super-node above the level of the monsters, but when the monsterlist screen shows up, it's blank. I've tried to follow the flow of the spells as suggested, but I can't just seem to quite make it work.
Example:

<p><i>The water erupts to reveal a man-sized mottled green tree frog. It has three forward legs that it holds close to its body, as if ready to spring. Its large eyes glow with an inner yellow light and it licks its mouth with its sticky tongue. A small bit of the creatures spittle falls to the ground, where it hisses and spits as it chews away at the ground underneath.</i></p>
<p>Acid Frogs are aggressive denizens of the swamp and marshlands with a powerful natural defense - their bodies secrete acid that can eat through almost all materials. Acid frogs normally dine on smaller animals native to their habitat,and in scarce times have been known to become cannibalistic. All tadpoles and newt-frog stages are solid black.</p>
<p>COMBAT</p>
<p>Acid Frogs are unnaturally aggressive, and will often attack opponents much larger than themselves. Only female acid frogs will shy from attacking other females. The acid frog generally strikes by thrusting itself upwards, making it appear to stand for a few seconds, in which it strikes with its three clawed arms. Acid frogs are well-known for using bull rushes.</p>
<p><b>Acid Immunity (Ex):</b> An acid frog takes no damage from acid attacks.</p>
<p><b>Acid Skin (Ex):</b> Any item that touches the skin of an acid frog is exposing itself to the slimy acid secretions that cover the frog's skin. The acid causes 1d6 damage on contact, Reflex DC 12 save for half damage.</p>
<p>An acid frog that remains at least half-submerged in an single area of stagnant water for a minute or more causes an area 15 feet in diameter around itself to deal 1d6 acid damage per round. For each additional acid frog in the area of effect, the damage is increased by 1d6, up to 20d6 per round. The acid can be dispersed by vigorous motion and the application of more non-acid liquid (minimum 20 gallons per 5 ft. cube), dropping the damage by one die per 5 rounds of dilution. In large bodies of water, the acid naturally degrades one die of damage in one minute.</p>
<p><b>Entangle (Ex):</b> Instead of clawing, the acid frog can lash out with its acid coated tongue as a +5 touch ranged attack with a range of 10 feet. The tongue can withstand 8 hit points of damage before it is severed. If the tongue lands a blow, the victim must make a DC 17 Reflex save or be considered grappled.</p>
<p><b>Leap Attack (Ex):</b> As a special charge attack, if a acid frog leaps at least 10 feet to engage a foe (ending the leap in contact with the opponent), it may make a full attack.</p>
<p><b>Spit Acid (Ex):</b> If backed into a corner, the acid frog can strike out with a vicious acid spittle. The spittle is a ranged touch attack with a +5 bonus to hit and can be shot out to a distance of 30 feet and affects one target, causing 4d4 damage on the first round, and an additional 2d4 damage for two additional rounds. A DC 15 Reflex save negates the additional damage. The acid frog can use it's spittle only once per minute.</p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> An acid frog has a +8 racial bonus to Jump checks.</p>

(This is a monster of my own creation, BTW)
I don't know if this helps, but here is the code from my reference file to do this...(this portion appears like its supposed to and opens the monsterlist like it's supposed to, but the monsterlist is blank).
<windowclass name="monsterroot">
<frame name="monsterroot" />
<defaultsize width="480" height="398" />
<sheetdata>
<windowopencontrol name="SRDmonsters">
<icon normal="button_openwindow2" pressed="button_openwindow2down" />
<bounds rect="33,25,200,25" />
<class name="SRDmonsterlist" />
<description text="SRD Monsters" />
</windowopencontrol>
<stringcontrol>
<bounds rect="63,25,170,20" />
<static value="SRD" />
<link handler="SRDmonsters" underlineoffset="-2" />
</stringcontrol>
<windowopencontrol name="BMmonsters">
<icon normal="button_openwindow2" pressed="button_openwindow2down" />
<bounds rect="33,50,200,25" />
<class name="BMmonsterlist" />
<description text="Bestiary Malfearous Monsters" />
</windowopencontrol>
<stringcontrol>
<bounds rect="63,50,170,20" />
<static value="Beastiary Malfearous" />
<link handler="BMmonsters" underlineoffset="-2" />
</stringcontrol>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>
(the "monsterroot" frame is a copy of the referenceroot.png, modified with crinkled paper background)
and the BMmonsterlist class that the monsterroot calls...(This is where I'm getting an empty screen)
<windowclass name="BMmonsterlist">
<datasource name="Bestiary Malfearous Monsters" />
<frame name="referencebox" />
<dynamic />
<defaultsize width="670" height="450" />
<minimumsize width="200" height="220" />
<softclose />
<sheetdata>
<staticgraphic>
<bounds rect="16,9,30,157" />
<icon name="title_monsters" />
</staticgraphic>
<windowlist class="monstersmall" name="list">
<s-ort fields="name" />
<bounds rect="50,12,-20,-18" />
<footer image="footer_narrow" />
<columns width="300" />
</windowlist>
<filter>
<bounds rect="20,-65,21,41" />
<icon name="search_icon" />
<entrymode frame="searchframe" bounds="18,-95,-80,77" textarea="37,45,-3,-12" />

<target name="list" />
<button normal="button_scroller" pressed="button_scroller_down" />

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or a better way to do this?
