I'd do it like this, a script in every object that needs a help entry: on mouseMove set the text of field "Yellow Help Box" to the help of me end mouseMove
In the property inspector, go to the "custom properties" part, and click the topmost "+" sign. in the dialog enter "help", and then enter the appropriate content into the bottommost field. Note: if you develop cross platform apps, then you do want to use mactoiso() or isotomac() on the custom property contents. One or the other, depending on which platform() you do fill the properties. As for the GLX framework, I only glanced at it shortly once, and thought it overly complex. like almost everything i look at these days...
