Ah, Now I see why you might want to use a book for a tutorial ...

Note though that this statement doesn't hold much water - "But it 
doesn't really belong as a help_hook or help message for a module since 
it touches so many core parts of Drupal." Helpedit can inject help text 
onto any page. It is quite powerful. You don't have to touch any code at 
all.
