How do I tell Vim I want line numbering when I view Help topics?

How can I tell VIM that I want it to display line numbering whenever I view a help topic?

Of course "set number" (without the quotation marks) in my .vimrc file tells Vim I want line numbering on by default in my editing windows. So far, so good.

But I also want to tell Vim to display line numbers in help topics I access via ":help [topic]".

As it stands, to display line numbering in Help I need to type "set number" after Vim displays the help information. And if I've done that, and then use any of the navigation features to move to another Help topic, Vim turns off the line numbers.

Cheers & thanks,
