Hi Gary! Try "man hier" Although I wouldn't try to draw to many comparisons between windows and FreeBSD, you'll find the differences quite significant. Generally, the configuration files that you would expect to find in c:\windows or c:\ are now in /etc or /usr/local/etc And program files are in /bin, /sbin or /usr/local/bin Hope this helps!!
