Default A Newbie to PC-BSD having problems with display/or Installing a WM with FreeBSD

This forum seems pretty... how shall I say it, "experienced BSD users who shun silly Windoze users and know how to do everything in the shell."

I was directed here by a member of the PC-BSD, apologies if I'm a silly Windoze loving person who has little to no experience with BSD in general.

screen. Please help!

I know this is kind of double posting, but if you guys think that it would be better / or could direct me to a simple resource for installing a Window manager on FreeBSD, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm sorry if my post shouldn't really go in this forum
