Try ftp'ing into either mac.archive.umich.edu and grabbing the file:
         /mac/system.extension/init/helpmeister.sit.hqx
or
ftp'ing into um-mts.cc.umich.edu and grabbing the file:
         PC2:init/helpmei
 
Its an extension I wrote for System 7 that, with the help of an extended
keyboard, will allow control-Help to toggle "Balloon Help" on and off.
