You can look at the pine port, this has something with pop in it. > 3. I have ftped and installed /usr/X11R6 and only have /usr/X11R6/bin/twm > as my availble manager.

Soemwhere at the same place where the olvwm package is sitting the libraries are also available. You can also try the "fvwm", yet another window manager for X, or "piewm". At least source ports of these two are available. > 4. I am sure there is a x web browser but I am unsure of what it is that > I am trying to pull.

You can get "netscape" available at "ftp.mcom.com" ? You need to use the BSDI binary. Or you can use "chimera", somewhere in the ports area.
