I do, but I have a space in TM_SUPPORT_PATH, which was the problem.

Yes, I had not changed input of the command.

I made a few changes to docset_query.rb: http://pastie.textmate.org/205314

Presently there is the problem that Apple’s docs will eclipse the  
POSIX / C lib stuff. For example ⌃H on open, read, exit, etc. will  
give Apple documentation. So it might be necessary to both query  
docset and man, rather than have man as a fallback.

When querying man, probably section 1 (shell commands) should be left  
out. For example ⌃H on ‘ulimit’ will show the (less useful from C) <x-man-page://1/ 
ulimit> instead of <x-man-page://3/ulimit>.
