In r13674 I added a new key called 'help' to one of the configuration options
and added some code so when viewing the Advanced configurator
( Tools / Preference / Alt-A )
if you click on one of the options you will see the text of this help field.

I added the text to the option that is called startup_splash so only
if you select
that will you see actual content.

We should probably add a Help button to the Preference window that will fetch
the 'help' entries of the current window and display them.
Even better might be to show the text in a bubble (or at the bottom of
the screen?)
when moving the mouse over the text of a configuration option.

We can also use this data to build a documentation page either inside Padre
or as a web page.

Of course this will be only interesting once many of the configuration options
got some explanation.

regards
