The apropos here (4.1a, which is probably the same) just runs 'man' with a '-k' option, and is only a shell command file. [Does the Bourne shell do the same thing? It seems that it'd be a shell problem.] Anyway, the other point is that 'man' doesn't look for things in your path -- just in the manual. Also, 'whereis' just looks in common places. [I've written my own 'whereis'-like program for just this reason... it particularly helps since the shell doesn't allow you to "dump" the command name hash table to see where your commands come from.] Michael
