The second part is about as generic as "How to configure my forms server?"
The short answer is "yes". Upon which your next question will undoubtedly be: "how?"
Well, it's all there, you know - in the Application Server Installation and Configuration manual, in the Forms section. Took the liberty to look it up for you, for version 10.1.2, you want:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/toc.htm

Oh - and detailed instructions on how and where of the function Web.show_document will be there somewhere, too. My instinct tells me you should define a virtual directory, map that to a real directory, place your help documents in this real directory, and use the virtual directory in the call to Web.show_document. Just guessing, though! Start in http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/index.htm and use the search function
