I did something similar for the asm-7090 "mode" I wrote:
https://gitorious.org/com-informatimago/emacs/blobs/master/pjb-asm7090.el

See asm7090-describe-codop.  You could even do that in a
post-command-hook, or on mouse or arrow events so that the instructions
are always explained.  It would also possible to attach tooltips to the
instructions so that you get the description on a mouse over. 

(Since I used that mode to transcribe asm-7090 code, I call
asm7090-describe-codop in the command bound to RET, as you can see in
asm7090).
