Hi François,

It is like a "backdrop node". See here (last point):

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phonybone/Particles2010

Also a +1 here for the Reroute node. Btw what does "This sub-menu will
not be visible on screen" mean? The Frame node could also live in this
Helper sub-menu.

Best regards,
Ejner
