 is the help text on the top level choice supposed to be usable ?  for example:
 choice
 prompt you [may] have a choice
 default YES
 help
   This help text is never viewable :(
 config YES
 bool yes
 help
   This help text is viewable when yes is selected.
 config NO
 bool no
 help
   This help text is viewable when no is selected.
 endchoice
 
 if you highlight the you [may] have a choice and query help, you get
 no output ... but if you go into the choice selection and query help
 on the options, you can view the help text for those individual ones.
 generally i like to put an overview in the choice help and explain
 each option in depth in the individual choices.

It is a menuconfig limitation. xconfig shows the helptext as one
would expect it to do.

See attached screenshot.
