Hi,

The description of whatis in 

  http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/new-users/x183.html

seems to be slightly off.  Currently it says

===
whatis text
     Tells you what the command text does and its man page. Typing whatis * will tell you about all
     the binaries in the current directory.
===

that seems more like a description of man rather than whatis.  The
whatis description should be more in line with that of apropos.

Thanks,
Satoshi
