On a related note, does anyone know how to get the most of the MacOS X help?
It's help centre is worse than useless, refusing to give me documentation on
things which I know exist.

The Unix based man command works well, but Apple don't seem to have created a
proper whatis database. Therefore:

[mac5031-1:~] jkb% man -k NSAddImage
nsaddimage: nothing appropriate
[mac5031-1:~] jkb% man NSAddImage
man: no entry for NSAddImage in the manual.

So how exactly am I meant to guess that "man NSModule" is the command to get
the NSAddImage (and friends) manual pages? I've resorted to using a series of
greps for most documentation lookups now which works very well, if a bit slow,
but alternative methods would be gratefully received!

Anyway, many thanks for adding the patch Daniel.

James
