I'm not sure what you want, since you are explicitly telling Emacs to
display Help in the same window.  Is that line from your .emacs for some
other *Help* buffer, and you never want the Calc help to appear in the
same window?  Perhaps if the Calc help were named "*Calc Help*" (or
better, perhaps, using a variable to determine the name,
`calc-help-buffer-name' or somesuch).  That wouldn't be hard, but
perhaps should wait until after 24.1.
