DESCRIPTION

       The kas apropos command displays the first line of the online help
       entry for any kas command that has the string specified by the -topic
       argument in its name or short description.

       To display the syntax for a command, use the kas help command.

OPTIONS

           Specifies the keyword string to match, in lowercase letters only.
           If the string is more than a single word, surround it with double
           quotes ("") or other delimiters.

       -help

       kas command where the string specified with the -topic argument is part
       of the command name or first line.
