I honestly have to say that I do like the way current MS systems handle 
help.  The cursor changes when over an item with help associated and if 
you right click on it, you get a popup, like a tooltip, but with a 
little more substance.  You can do this on radio buttons, checkboxes, 
combo boxes, anything.
