They certainly make life a lot easier using the time and experience others have contributed. Use the port /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect. For information on using the ports you can read: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-using.html The download that you actually use is named "GUILG00.GZ". Once that is place in /usr/ports/distfiles/ then do a "make install" from /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect. Hope this helps.
