I thought this would be an excellent addition to Contao.

We can add a new widget called inputType => 'help'.

```
'instructions' => array
(
'label' => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_content']['instructions'],
'exclude' => true,
'inputType' => 'help',
'eval' => array('canClose'=>false),
'reference' => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']
),

```

This widget will allow us to add HTML body text for instructions to a section or a specific control, which goes beyond the single line help line below the control. It should also have a with a "close x" link/button at the top. This close feature is remembered in the stored session, just like legends are stored. It would be possible then also to pop-open the help again, should it be needed.
