Display file help text without hitting F1/HELP?

I was wondering if this would be possible...

I would like to show a line of help text depending on which field the
cursor is located on the screen (analogous to a "tool tip" in Windows
world).  All you simply do is press TAB to move from field to field and the
help text changes automatically.  I'm thinking I'd have to use UDDS or
something in the display file and read/write directly against the
workstation--something which I'm not familar at all with.  Is there any
simple way to do this?

Thanks,
