Let me provide here another way:
# makewhatis //I'm not sure that this will work as non-root.
# foreach i (`find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -type f`)
? basename $i >> tmp.cmd.lst
? end
# whatis `cat tmp.cmd.lst` | less

This must provide You with a one-line descriptions of all commands
(but, interesting, no whatis for cp(1) :-( ). If this happen to You, get a
look on 'man <cmd>' (for cp(1), this work).

Hope, this may help.

Alexander
