  12. I asked the same question a few months ago, and obtained here a
  13. terrific LIBSEARCH utility.  As suggested, I made it more specific by
  14. defining the command APROPOS; it sometimes gives you more output that
  15. you really bargained for, but its search automatically runs through the
  16. help library; no need to extract, search, delete separately.
  17. Also, APROPOS works like the unix command, only better IMHO.
