But my repertoire of Linux programs is limited!

In bash, this...
{
for i in $(for i in Defaults Library Services;do apt-file search 
GNUstep/$i;done|cut -f1 -d:|sort -u);do man -k $i;done
}
...resulted as follows.
{
gnustep-examples: nothing appropriate.
gnustep-gui-runtime: nothing appropriate.
gworkspace.app: nothing appropriate.
wmaker-common: nothing appropriate.
}

Whereas fish highlighted red:
	`$';
	`do'; and
	`done'.
Then it reported thus.
{
Missing end to balance this for loop
fish: for i in $(for i in Defaults Library Services;do apt-file search 
GNUstep/$i;done|cut -f1 -d:|sort -u);do man -k $i;done
                  ^
}

I understood that Linux users in general were deemed to be experts! 
Though the fish shell documentation states as follows. Which is why I 
began with fish.

"This is the documentation for fish, the friendly interactive shell. 
fish is a user friendly commandline shell intended mostly for 
interactive use."
