                              Command : APROPOS

NAME
   apropos - Searches info pages for information on a topic

Level: Basic

SYNTAX
   [##:##]% apropos <searchword> [maxhits]

The Empire info pages are organized by subject. It can sometimes  be  hard  to
find  the exact page with the information in which you are interested.  To get
a list of subjects containing the word you are looking for, type:
   [##:##] Command: apropos <word>

without the < and > brackets.

You can then type:
   [##:##] Command: apropos bridge
to get a list of Empire commands  and  info  topics  which  contain  the  word
bridge, as well as the line that mentions it.

Apropos is not case sensitive, thus the above example  will  find  pages  with
Bridge or bridge (or even bRiDgE).

By default, apropos exits when 100 hits are found.  You can change this  value
with an optional second parameter.
