Checkout 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html 
partway down the page it directs you to some standard sup files on your 
computer.  Copy one to a convenient folder and edit it (I believe it has 
some "change mes" in it).  As for an editor, try edit (should've been 
installed with the system).  It's not the nicest editor, but it'll do. 
Also, doing a site:freebsd.org search from google will probably turn up 
many helpful pages.

HTH,
