  perhaps because help.search does approximate matching and found 
everything with 'print' in as well? I get about 12 screens of matches to 
that, but because I knew sprintf was in there _somewhere_ I found it.

  You can turn off approximate matching with:

    help.search("printf",agrep=F)

  which gives the one true match.
