Help message Broadcasting system

[Andrew Kluthe]

I am converting my noble little app into the glx framework, as I've realized
that what it does will be invaluable to me in the long run. 

A feature that was requested a couple of days ago, and I assume needs to be
developed early in the process, is for a Help system. 

For Example:

1.You click a field, lets say the field is for entering an insurance policy
number.

2. A box that is always on the bottom of the card/stack displays information
from a help Table in a db telling you the format of the purpose of this
field. (i.e. what to put here, what it means, what format it needs to be in,
etc.)

I said that I could use tooltips to do something similar, but they really
want that little yellow help box.

Reading up on GLX, it said something about handling broadcasting.

Can I use GLX's broadcasting features to do something like this? Am I
misunderstanding the purpose of broadcasting? Am I spinning off into the
wrong quadrant of space?

Your thoughts.
