http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9761

Changeset 9761 introduces add_contextual_help().  Use it like so:

$hook = add_object_page('Test Object', 'Test Object', 8, 'mt_object',
'mt_object_page');
    add_contextual_help($hook, 'Testing Help');

That adds your custom help text to the contextual part of the menu
slide down.  If you want to replace the entire content of the slider,
use the contextual_help filter.
