Something I find very very annoying as a Newbie.

pkg_add a package, It drops ya right back to the prompt without
a clue on what to do next!

How about requiring a small message displayed with at least
"see man xxxxx for further details" or "See pkg_info <package>"

Yes, Some have this info in the pkg_info, Most don't!

It's very flusterating.

-Enjoy
Gary
