Force helpful to have only one buffer like *Help* #333

I'm not a developer, so this could be a PEBKAC. I would like to have only one helpful buffer no matter what, like the built-in *Help* system. Currently helpful opens for every function or variable I select for describing a differently named buffer. Is there any variable or lisp code that would make helpful behave like *Help* in terms of the buffer?

Solved. helpful-max-buffers 1 did the trick.
