Every time I want to point a newbie to the latex tutorial I have to hunt it down myself. It would be really nice if there was a link or an icon right on the reply window to use in the post. Or am I missing something?

Under Info in the header? The footer is already cluttered.

Technically they are in the Help section already
 
Is there room for another icon in the post editor toolbar?
 
Good spot for it. Thanks.
