If you don't mind me asking:

What are your high-level goals and immediate needs for changing
help-quick? It looks like you may be trying to have multiple
simultaneous quick-help buffers active at once? History with
emacs suggests that that avenue tends to be confusing and
cumbersome, and _generally_ not fruitful. (As one big concrete
example, I spent years working with "computer help" at my
university where Emacs was the default editor (in the 90s), and
some form of "My window is cut in half; how do I get it all
back?" was frequently the most common editor question.)

Thanks,
