Hi Wayne,

Sorry about that, I actually started with the intention of providing tooltips for the wxGrids in the library manager and the paths configuration dialog. However, I found adding a tooltip to a wxGrid cells is not very easy, so I retreated to just updating the help text and centralising logic. I evidently neglected to update the comments adequately. 

I haven't given up on the tooltips, but it'll need more work to do it nicely in wx. On yt bright side, hopefully if I can do it, it will be helpful for decorating other wxGrids with per cell tooltips.

I'll update the commentary on this patch.

Cheers,

John
