Even when I don’t know much about a port’s name, usually port search blah where blah is some guess at a name returns enough that I can figure out what I was really looking for. (R is annoying though if I forget to put a space in the search). For instance port search python 3.8 pulls up somethings with py38 in the name which suggests trying with no spaces. Or port search python gets a lot of stuff but in there show up python37, python38, python39 etc. Lenore
