man -k doesn't work

["Brian J. Stults" <bs7452@csc.albany.edu>]

Hi,

When I type man -k [anything], I always get this result:

[anything]: nothing appropriate

It doesn't matter what I substitite for "anything".  I have the
environment variable MANPATH set like this in .bash_profile:

MANPATH=/usr/bin/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man

Can someone suggest an answer?  Thanks!
