You could override the :help command with the help of the "cmdalias" plugin,
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=746.
Or use the 'filetype' event; for example, I have an autocmd that automatically
maximizes the help window when in a blank tab page:
" Do not create a split for a help window if the only other window is a blank
" buffer. Instead, maximize the help window. This is useful when a help page is
" opened in a new tab page as a reference.
function! s:MaximizeHelpWindow()
if winnr('$') == 2
let l:otherBufNr = winbufnr(2)
if (empty(bufname(l:otherBufNr)) &&
\ getbufvar(l:otherBufNr, '&modified') == 0 &&
\ empty(getbufvar(l:otherBufNr, '&buftype'))
\)
only
endif
endif
endfunction
augroup MaximizeHelpWindow
autocmd!
autocmd FileType help call <SID>MaximizeHelpWindow()
augroup END
