Thanks.  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.
