local backdrop = {

    }   
 
 
function MyAddon_ShowOptionFrame()
-- Does the frame already exist?
if HeeloWorldFrame then
    HeeloWorldFrame:Hide()  else
        if not HeeloWorldFrame then
-- Nope. Create it now:
        local frame = CreateFrame("frame", "HeeloWorldFrame", UIParent)
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetWidth(300)
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetHeight(75)
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent,"CENTER", 0, 0)
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetFrameLevel(1)    
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetAlpha(1)
        HeeloWorldFrame:SetBackdrop(backdrop)          
        end
        HeeloWorldFrame:Show()  
    end
    -- -- By this point the frame either already existed, or was just created.
end
 
frame = CreateFrame("Button", "OptionsFrame", TopFrame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
    frame:SetHeight(21)
    frame:SetWidth(80)
    frame:SetText("Options")
    frame:ClearAllPoints()
    frame:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
    OptionsFrame:SetScript("OnClick", function() MyAddon_ShowOptionFrame() end)
