apropos searches a database constructed from the NAME section of manual pages and returns results only from text in that section and only from manual pages. It is independent of info documents. An index (the 'dir' page) of info documents may be seen by running either info or pinfo without commandline arguments or from within Emacs. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
