FreeBSD newbie login question

[grilla]

I have installed Freebsd FreeBSD for the first time and get a message about technical support. It asks if I have any questions. The question I have is what do I type to

edit /etc/motd to change this announcement

? If I type edit /etc/motd I am given a long list of possible commands, and I have no idea what to type next.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.

Type whatever you want to see every time you log in, then press esc + enter (as you can see in the "long list of possible commands") and a to "save changes".

The file is called Message Of The Day or motd for short. It's just a simple text message, you can put anything you want in it.

Mainly used by administrators to show their users a short message when they log in.
