Subject: Help balloon in the Finder for my own app
Summary: How do I do it?

In System 7.0b4's Finder, when help balloons are turned on and you point
at the TeachText application, a balloon comes up specific to TeachText,
saying "This is a simple application that you can use to read a document...."
etc.  I haven't seen how to make a balloon like this for my own application
in BalloonWriter, nor in any resource in the TeachText app.  I'd assume
the Finder looks in some resource within TeachText to get it, though granted,
it might be hardcoded into "Finder Help" and only meant for that app
(though I'd hope not).

Has anyone done this?
