I just tried this out on my Mac with an installation to ~/Applications. man
rexx works and give the expected information. I then removed
~/Applications/ooRexx5/bin from the path and man rexx stated that there was no
information on rexx. I then copy and pasted the entire ooRexx Installation (a
single icon on macOS) to /Applications (where ALL Apps reside), amended
/Applications/ooRexx5/bin to the path and pop! man rexx give the information
again, this time from another location.
My take on it is that at least on macOS there is no need to move the manpages
to /usr/local/share/man or /usr/share/man, the OS will find them inside the
installation.
And uninstall is a single drag to the bin :-)
