I have reverted back to using `with-output-to-temp-buffer' but taking out
`pop-to-buffer' from inside `with-output-to-temp-buffer'.  Then hitting
`q' gets me to quit the buffer and its window.

Here is the updated function

(defun help-show (buf msg)
  "Display the output of MSG"

  (when (stringp msg)
    (with-output-to-temp-buffer buf
      (princ msg))
    (pop-to-buffer buf)))
