a. When doing a help system you need to think about what the user is likely to do if they do not know something. The help system need to be simple organized and to show what to do. Help messages should be short, to the point and be understood. It can show the users how do to something. I would incorporate a help by explaining to guests how to look at their points record. They should be able to look at what they did to get those points.
