  I have two ideas:

  1) Go to admin > settings > click
"configure" next to the node type
  you want to add the message > provide
the "Explanation or submission
  guidelines:" and then save.  This will
show the text on the top of the
  node submission form.


  Hi Greg,

  Thank you, this will work for a few.
But unfortunately I have some Content
Types that are being used for multiple
purposes and my need is include
description of the purpose at times. So
I need something a bit more unique.

  I guess that HelpTips is the only way
to go but I was hoping to not force the
use of more real-estate for a HelpBlock.

  I was hoping to find something that
could be a bit more interactive (eg: if
the user wants to see it, they click
show-me and it appears, then they click
it again and it's gone.)

  thanks
  Cozzi

  2) For more control you can add
something in the theme layer such as
  editing the node.tpl.php (I think) or
over-riding some theme function.
  I'm more guessing here since I've
never done exactly this kind of
  thing on the node submission form.
