Mr. Howard,
From your description it really sounds like you are looking for a =20
grammar parser that you can then feed into 'apropos' or 'man'.
With your skill set (and maybe a little ruby :) ) I think you could =20
put the pieces together without too much trouble.
Likely Corliss has a perl One Liner (sm) that could get it done in =20
short order. :)
The whole learning/teaching Linux thing is fascinating because of the =20
different context in which people are wanting/required to learn.
