My question is _WHERE_ can I find Joe?? 
I have looked on cdrom.com/FreeBSD/.../joe and I don't find anything but an almost empty directory!!
Is my internet ``Newbie'ness`` showing here and I'm missing something??
I get the feeling PLIST means something, But I haven't fingered it out yet!

Any non-gui (character based) file managers adound??

Thanks
Gary
