   These comment makes no sense to me -- the manual page even tells me
that pkgsrc is located in /home/pkgsrc/pkgsrc. The build system inspects
the system to find out where pkgsrc is located. No other pkgsrc tool I
have run has ever had any problem locating my pkgsrc installation. I
would never even have known that /usr/pkgsrc was a default location
unless you had mentioned it -- and I've been using pkgsrc for years(!).

   That shouldn't be necessary, as long as the usual auto detection
stuff is working. (?)

   Here's a brain dead question for you: How do I know what terminal I'm
running? :-)

   TERM is set to "screen", I assume that's an answer to your question?
I have no idea if it is "an emulation", but I guess you could answer
that. :-) When I run in a full screen session, I get TERM=3Dvt220. Then
pkg_select seems to work, which is good I guess. However, it's not using
the same flashy colors as it does when I run under screen.

   Should I be running vt100?
