Yer a wizard harry! Epic!

 

Nice script! Little detail which make battle system easier to understand .

This is a good idea, is there a way to turn the help box off if you don't need it?

Is there a way to change that messageback to the dim background used in messages?, also changing it to display only one line?

It should be an option or hotkey to disable and enable this.

Very cool! Nice addition to battles

Is there a way to adjust the width and x position of the help box? I'd like to shorten it's width and move it more toward the right side of the screen.

[Xypher 176]

this script only adds to the help windows that are already present.

the handling for width and positioning is done in the default classes for

Window_ActorCommand and Window_PartyCommand

and this would affect all help windows that are a subclass of them.
