with output following C-h v or C-h f
I use `jump-to-form' - bound here to f12:

(defun jump-to-form ()
  (interactive)
  (if (featurep 'xemacs)
      (progn
    (forward-char 1)
    (let ((name (symbol-atpt))
          (file (progn (search-forward "\"" nil t 1)(thing-at-point
'filename))))
      (forward-char 1)
      (help-find-source-or-scroll-up (point))
      (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
      (kill-new name)
      (search-forward name)))
    (other-window 1)
    (forward-button 1)
    ;; (find-file (filename-atpt))
    (push-button)))
