On Mac OS X is it implemented this way: If you are in a Cocoa App and 
press the "help" button on the keyboard the mousecursor changes into a 
question mark. With this question mark you click on the interface 
element you want to obtain information about. That's it or better: that 
should it be, since I found no application where this type of help is 
actually implemented. I always get a beep if i click on something with 
this question mark. So it looks to me that this feature is a leftover 
from the days of OPENSTEP, but I like the basic idea.
