Ahem, can you please be a bit more specific? If this is the case than
this is related to the packaging of ptx/cor (whatever it might be).

man is easy in this respect: It looks whether there is a man page or
not.

Info would have to check *every* node in *every* info file, ie reading
all info files, checking all node texts, and probably finding 20
occurences of ptx in these files. Which one should be shown?

If the ptx/cor package installes an info file ptx.info, then you will
get with "info ptx" the right stuff. If it is hidden in some node of the
info document named differently, then you cannot accept much better?

Well you could, but this would be google desktop or beagle search or
something.

....

Best wishes

Norbert
