Hello from Gregg C Levine writing for myself

Every time I use pkg_add to install a package that does have the necessary
things in it for using the pkg_add functions to install, it places them in
directories under /usr/pkg. Is there anyway to guarantee a proper placement?
Such as instructing it to put the items that make up the joe editor for
example into /usr/bin for example. Also, the path variable isn't always
properly updated. Items that are placed where they belong, such as the ones
that make up the vnc package go into the X11R6 binary directory bin, but I
have type out the full path before I can use the actual program.
