This is what each do. Easiest and fastest way to create them is to copy them from an existing model. Otherwise look to create a dummy or point object in Max.

A helper in 3DS is basically a blank mesh. So make a simple object like a cube, convert it to a mesh, take out all the vertices inside it, rename it to what you want/need the helper to be named, and you've got yourself a helper.
