tool tip dwell time

Hi:

I have fairly large tool tip text items (text is anywhere from 300 - 
1500 characters long) associated with a group of 15 different 
checkboxes in my interface. Each checkbox is used to enable a type of 
test to conduct.

My question centers on this: Given the amount of time it may takes to 
read these tool tips, they often disappear prior to completing the 
reading of the tool tip.

Is there any way to change the dwell time of the tool tips? Is it 
even desirable to do so?

Thanks.

Chris
