Sure,
you would do that by
- looking up the error message the documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com (as opposed to wasting our time, posting yet another RTFM question)
- as pointed out by the documentation run the helpins procedure in the %ORACLE_HOME%\sqlplus\admin directory.

Note: there is help for *SQLPLUS* only, no help on *SQL*. For help on sql query the sql reference manual at http://tahiti.oracle.com

Could you please explain why you don't want to use the documentation and misuse this forum as a remedy for your laziness?
