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.]
