Hi Karen,
It sounds like you want to define a custom "view" screen and populate the fields in it. The instructions for creating a screen are here:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Defining+a+Screen
Once you have created the screen with the right fields - you need to associate it with a screen scheme. On the "Configure Screen Scheme" page you have the oppertunity to associate the screen with an "Issue Operation". In your case you would select "View Issue"
Hope this helps.
Jon
