As far as I know, the help/apropos commands do work
in the perldl and pdl2 shells for the *.pdl routines.  The
same fix is not in the pdldoc routine.  E.g.,

pdl> ?dms2deg
Autoload file "/cygdrive/c/pdl/dms2deg.pdl"
FUNCTIONS
  dms2ddeg
      Convert deg:min:sec angles to decimal degrees

    "dms2deg" converts a latitude or longitude in degrees:minutes:second
    numerical format into decimal degrees for coordinate transformation
    calculations.

      PDL> $lat_dms = 1003036.81;
      PDL> p $lat_deg = dms2deg($lat_dms);
      100.510225

  Docs from
    /cygdrive/c/pdl/dms2deg.pdl

...but if I try with pdldoc:

 pdldoc dms2deg
No PDL docs for 'dms2deg'. Using 'whatis'. (Try 'apropos dms2deg'?)

'dms2deg'

Is that the behavior you see?
