Great, thanks for that it works fine now.

I'm kinda new to FreeBSD.  I've some knowledge, not a lot, of SCO
Xenix and a little Unix.  Where do I go to learn more about FreeBSD? 
Are there any web resources like HTML manuals anywhere?  I'd really
like to take a look at X Windows as all of my previous experience has
been dumb terminal stuff.

Thanks again
