How do I add my own instruction help text and pages to a GUI

Hello,

I am creating an educational GUI for a public school setting, and would like to add instructional text for various actions. Is this capacity already build into Matlab, and I haven't found the right word for it, or is it just a special use of the standard GUI components found in GUIDE?

Thank you.

You can add your help in a menu http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/creating-menus-in-a-guide-gui.html

Thank you Azzi. I worked through creating Menu Bars and Content Menus, which will allow me to generate topic specific links, but I did not see where or how I would insert the text. I think Doc Blocks would work if I were keeping it in MATLAB code, but I am not sure if it would work when I turn this into a GUI stand alone application. I also looked at an Interactive List Box, from the example lbox2.fig, from the C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R214a\help\techdoc\creating_guis\examples. It allows me to creating documentation as a file that can be called up, but I am still missing how to get a Contex Menu to display a 300 character block of text.
