From here originally (bottom of the page).

An interactive help system. Gets people up to speed with concepts like THAC0 and AC without having to trawl a manual.

Concrete implementation has several alternatives:
1. Tooltips when hovering over a specific term wherever it appears in a string.
2. Hovering then hitting a key (F1?) and it brings up a window with an explanation of the term.
3. Maybe others.
4. And any of the above could be configurable in themselves.

    The iPad version will definitely need some kind of help system, for random new users that buy the game and expect it to be simple / easy to understand (/ magical). No matter how intuitive the interface will be, thac0 and AC will need explaining.
