How can I show help to a user one time only?

How can I show help to a user one time only?

On my node form, I have some inline help under a few of the fields. I would either like the user to be able to close/hide the help or the help to be removed after a user has visited the page, so the user will not see the help again.

I have seen various modules for notification/messages which will only be displayed to an individual user once but this not suitable as I would like to have the help besides the field rather than the top of the page.

I have seen the qtip/tooltip modules also but as far as I’m aware these do not remember whether an individual user has closed the tip so next time the user visits the site the tips will be open again.

What would be the simplest way to display a tooltip/help message besides a field only once per each user. I know I can use php to check whether a user has seen the page or not, but unless I can some how use either the field help text or the tooltips with rules, I can only see this happening by writing a custom module. I was hoping that there was something which was similar to what I need already available though.
