Have tried the following code, but is giving me > invalid function: "*help*"



(defun myfunc ()
  "todo docstring"
  (interactive)

  (setq bufr (help-buffer))
  (print "test" bufr) )

When I wish to see the self documentation I use

C-h f myfunc

I get a temporary help buffer displaying the docstring for myfunc.

Is it possible to to do the same kind of thing when calling a description 
function "mydesc".
so that the print function are show in a temporary  help buffer?

(defun mydesc ()
"docstring for mydesc"

(print "The brown fox" help)
(print "jumps over the fence" help) )

M-x mydesc

wiil then behave similar to doing

C-h f somefunc
