But what I'd like to have is not a way of burying the Help window, because I frequently need to consult it for quite some time. What I'd like to have is a way of using its buttons without going to that other window first. For example, I'd love a command, bound to a key globally, that would display the source of the function in the same window as the Help window, then allow me to go back to the Help window.
