To see the current setting, you just use the program and it tells you where it's going. To change it, you set the variable to a different value in your environment. How you set an environment variable depends on what shell you use, but for sh-style shells, the example from the manual page would be # PACKAGEROOT='ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org' # export PACKAGEROOT Please read the Handbook section on "Shells". http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/shells.html
