The solution is definitely not under the "samples" directory, sorry!
Form Builder doesn't support HTML help at this time.
The XForms engine does. At the XForms level something like this works though:
<xf:label><xf:output mediatype="text/html"
ref="path/to/the/label/text"/></xf:label>
The XForms engine transforms this into simple markup which you can see
with your browser's view source, and the client xforms.js calls YUI to
show the help dialog.
