I am running FreeBSD for the first time, and I can't seem to figure out
where it is looking when I run a bash command with no paths..

such as:
# pico
instead of
# /usr/local/bin/pico

I know on RedHat Linux I can make a sim link in the /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin directories and it works... So how do I do this on FreeBSD?

Thanks..

..rick
