That sounds exactly like "Help Meister", an extension (INIT) I wrote to
allow you to toggle Balloon Help on and off via pressing control-Help on
an ADB extended keyboard. Note: it does NOT make the Balloon Help menu
icon disappear.
 
However, "Help Meister" is available for ftp'ing from the mac.archive.umich.edu
archives... look inside of  /mac/system.extensions/init  for the file
help-meister.sit.hqx
 
(Disclaimer(s): I work for the UM mac archives, I wrote the INIT, and just
 today, Randy Carr at Apple (who wrote the Help Manager) sent me thanks for
 Help Meister!  Yes, this is horn tooting, I know... but thanks, Randy!)
