This is a bug which I reported some time ago, so it should be fixed
in post V15 releases of Poplog.
If anyone is interested I have a generalisation of ved_man which
uses your $MANPATH list to create a list of available man files
which you can search in Ved then select the one you want. This is
sometimes useful when you can't recall the precise name of a man
file and want to scan the list, or if you want to see which man
files are available in a category.
It's available from the Birmingham Poplog ftp directory.
The code is in
ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/auto/ved_vman.p
the help file is
