Hi, can anyone tell me how to add a text line in the numerical solver calculation screen that describes a variable in an equation?

for example

spl = 20 log (D2/Dr)

Dr is a reference distance from a source
D2 is a prediction distance

I want some form of description of the variable when the cursor is moved to the input.

So when I go to enter D2, the description appears on the bottom of the screen.

Thanks
