One thing that might be useful is
sudo install manopen
That will install a tool that lets you read "man[ual] pages" easily
for the unix-y tools installed on your system.
Many programs (probably including gimp -- I haven't tried it) that
come from the unix world are / were documented using "man pages",
and this lets you read them.
I must have missed a thread, but what is wrong with the built in 'man'
that is available to all Mac OS X installs.
As far as I remember, 'man' has been with us since the 10.0 days.
Once it's installed you can read the manpage for ports, for instance
-- (although that may be like trying to drink from a firehose).
Still it shows you one way to find what other programs are available.
If 'man' doesn't work now, I would suspect a second copy may also not
work.
How come the built-in is not acceptable for this user?
