This is not different from creating a single window.

For small apps, you could do the following. Have two String arrays, one
for the names of the commands, and one for the manual pages of the
commands. The indexes of these arrays must correspond to eachother. For
example, if index 0 of the name array is "my command" then index 0 of
the other array is "The man page for my command". Then when the user
presses the help button, you check which index of the name array the
currently selected item is, and then show a window containing the
manpage from that index of the second array.
For bigger apps this will consume too much memory. Better use a database.
