How to close the doc reading part of the IPython notebook?

Question

In an IPython notebook, when you look at some docs with ? or help(), a split frame is opened at the bottom of the screen where the documentation shows up. While I find this useful as a guide for continuing to play with some Python code, I would like to close this spit frame when I'm done reading the docs, so to get back the screen space. But I can't find instructions anywhere, not with Google and not in the IPython notebook docs how to do this?

Anybody knows?

Doh, one has to click on the very slim divider line. The subframe then closes...

You have to press the q key. That works for me.
