Whats the proper way to show a help field?

[William Prothero]

Folks:
I have a help field that I want to pop up and follow the mouse when it’s within a specific rect. What I’m doing is showing the x,y values in a data plot region. So, I do something like:

on mouseEnter
  doTheDisplay
end mouseEnter

on doTheDisplay
  repeat while the mouseLoc is within theRect
     doStuff that shows the field and its contents
  end repeat
end doTheDisplay	

The problem with this is I am getting “Recursion Limit” errors.
