There are several ways to do so, maybe a status bar, tooltips
or what's this help.
I'd call this "Documentation on demand". It gives you the
right information just in time. A very good thing, IMHO, but
often such things are - even if there are some - more or less
useless, maybe a tooltip which shows "If checked, this option
takes effect" for a checkbox.
The problem is that it is a special challenge to create
reasonable entries for such help systems. Great the wings3d
people have spent the time for it.
