Put your cursor on "defadvice".  Type C-h C-f (for Help Function) and
"defadvice" should be the default choice.  Hit "return" - if you read
to the end of the help, there should be a link to the info page on
defadvice, where they can explain it far better than I can.  If you
don't have info installed correctly, a quick google on "emacs
defadvice" will give you more than you need.

If you put your cursor over a variable, i.e. planner-use-other-window,
try C-h C-v (Help Variable).  

Cheers,  Jody
