Make sure you're running the right binary. If you've installed it from
the port, that's /usr/local/mupad/share/bin/xmupad. That's a shell
script that sets up the environment for xmupad. Running the version
out of freebsd/bin complains about things being missing.

In the X version, then pull down the Help menu on the right side. The
"Help Documents" entry - also available as key F1 - has a "Tutorium"
that's a good place to start.
