Your problem with apropos is particularly surprising to me.  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.]
