Thank you Stefan for the help!

I think that following will open the code in the same window.  I
wanted this for a long time...

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-key help-mode-map (kbd "f") 'push-button-display-same-window)
(define-key help-mode-map (kbd "o") 'push-button)

(defun push-button-display-same-window ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((display-buffer-overriding-action '(display-buffer-same-window)))
    (push-button)))
#+end_src
