Darren,

It's been a while since I've done it, but IIRC, the yellow pop ups 
you are talking about (Context sensitive help and not the tooltips) 
require an actual help file.

They are a PITA to write unless you have some good help authoring 
software. Unfortunately when I wrote my help file, the price of the 
software was too expensive to justify the cost for a one of.
