Description Abeer Bagul CLA 2013-04-01 08:38:06 EDT 
When user clicks the cell "Add new expression", it goes into edit mode and displays a textbox. 
At this time, we can open a hover infopop dialog (similar to what opens on in JDT when you hover the mouse over a method name). The UI focus will remain in the edit textbox, but the hover infopop will explain how to define enhanced expressions. This hover infopop will also have a checkbox "Do not show me again" so that user can prevent it from opening everytime he wants to type in an expression.
