If you are new to the shell and looking for something to ease the
transition between Windows and the console try installing mc
(/usr/ports/misc/mc):

/usr/ports/misc/mc/pkg-descr
GNU Midnight Commander is a user-friendly yet powerful file manager
and visual shell, useful to novice and guru alike. It provides a
clear, user-friendly, and somewhat protected interface to a Unix
system while making many frequent file operations more efficient and
preserving the full power of the command prompt. You will wonder how
you could ever live without it.
