If you fit the window showing *Help* to its buffer, there is no room
left.  Where to pop up the location of the source and how to get rid of
it is a question we currently discuss in Bug#9054 and Bug#36767.  If and
when we reach a consensus there, we can add an option to immediately
display the source in the *Help* buffer or a window right below it (IIRC
a C source wouldn't be always available though).
