There is a typo in the final sentence of `help-window-setup-finish':

,---- (documentation 'help-window-setup-finish)
| `display-buffer') for displaying help.  Optional argument
| keep-frame non-nil means that quitting must no delete the frame
| of window.
`----

"no" should be "not"

Also, this last sentence is having the more funkiest phraseology.
Might it be better presented as:

,----
| When optional argument KEEP-FRAME is non-nil quit-window will not
| delete the frame of selected-window WINDOW.
`----
