Slightly easier syntax is:
find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep -H help {} \;
The -H switch prints the filename on each matching line in each file.
You normally do not need this, since grep's default is to print the
filename if there is more than a single file in the argument list.
Or if you want to avoid find altogether you can do something like this:
grep -r --include="*.txt" help .
You need the quotes around the *.txt or otherwise the shell will expand
the "*" before it is passed to grep.
See the grep manual page for all the gory details.
