OK I'm a by ports make install as a rule=2E But I needed to
spin up a box quickly, and decided to use pkg(8)=2E xorg,
and another port (package) I installed, dumped some
important information after the install=2E I stripped the
text from the console/terminal, and tried to paste it into
a fresh file=2E But the new graphics drivers don't allow
that sort of thing (graphics vs text mode)=2E So I was left
with mostly gibberish=2E I need to get that information back=2E
I just guessed that pkg message <port-name> might do it=2E
But no joy=2E How can I retrieve that information?

Thanks!
