For more detailed help, I would consider adding a 'More' button to the help box, that when clicked would extend the box down to cover the rest of the screen, and show a scrolling rich-text guide to the activity. I would add an Option 4: 4) Add a help icon to the Activity toolbar which launches Browse, displaying an HTML guide to the activity. Either way, it sounds like a lot more work for the translators. -Wade
