Do not think there ever was a pet for that.
man pages are left out of Puppy to save space.
The man command is actually a symlink to pman program, that tries to find the requested man page on the internet.
There may not be but there should be because if you look at /var/packages/DISTRO_PKGS_SPCS, you'll notice that "docs" is an item that part of the package is to be split off into. I think for Warry, there were seperate docs packages available in the repos for a given package but I don't know if the tradition has been continued.
That said, if said docs packages don't exist One could create a script to generate them based on DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS.
I have a related post that may be of interest in the thread, "Re: How to use 'man' command in Puppy?".
tks ya'll
