apropos? But Doc Mana, you're the one who taught me how to pronounce it properly! ;) (silent s, for the uninitiated). Beats me why that we use "apropos" for that, but it appears to be UNIX usage (man apropos), and here's what Emacs has to say (C-h f apropos RET): apropos is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `apropos'. It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <apropos> <apropos> . (apropos APROPOS-REGEXP &optional DO-ALL) Show all bound symbols whose names match APROPOS-REGEXP. With optional prefix DO-ALL or if `apropos-do-all' is non-nil, also show unbound symbols and key bindings, which is a little more time-consuming. Returns list of symbols and documentation found.
