Answering my own post, I've managed to get it working. It was me being a 
bit stupid really! 
In the line:
t3lib_extMgm::addLLrefForTCAdescr
('pages','EXT:myext/locallang_csh_pages.php');
I thought myext meant extension key name with the tx_ prefix, probably 
because I had been looking at tt_news as the example...

I wonder if this is perhaps your problem Christian?

For everyone's info all I have done is added a locallang_csh_myext.php 
file into the extension folder, at the same level as ext_tables.php

In there I have put in the $TCA_DESCR array described in "Inside Typo3" 
document

Then in ext_tables.php I have added:

t3lib_extMgm::addLLrefForTCAdescr
('tx_ahmenulist_menu','EXT:myext/locallang_csh_myext.php');

where myext is the directory name of the extension where the 
locallang_csh_myext.php file is located.

Also, do the obvious and make sure that the user has the field help mode 
switched on to either display icon or full text and that it's not blank 
from within their setup panel.

Hope that helps
