The problem isn't unique to Vim, though. Try manpages w.r.t. unix  commands you've never heard of.  

  The command 'apropos' is your friend. :-)  

  Just looked in 'man apropos' and tried 'apropos mount'    It does not work. Can you, please, provide an example.    

What system are you on ?
You must be missing something basic in yr system, if `apropos mount' return a blank.
Try `which apropos' at the prompt.  `apropos' is located at /ust/bin/apropos.
In *nix environments the `apropos [keyword]' cmd yields the exact same results as the cmd `man -k [keyword]'
Compare`apropos mount' and `man -k mount'.
