In general there is no cure for this - the word you give to APROPO
must appear in the 2 precursor lines of the help file and many
programmers did not take those lines seriously enough.

I did change the program that builds the list to include the task name
itself and one of the words in those 2 lines.  That would cure your
particular problem.
