+ <para>When building certain ports, you may be presented with a
+ ncurses-based menu from which you can select certain build
+ options. It is not uncommon for users to wish to revisit this
+ menu to add, remove, or change these options after a port has
+ been built. There are many ways to do this. One option is to
+ go into the directory containing the port and type
+ <command>make config</command>, which will simply present the
+ menu again with the same options selected. Another option is
+ to use the command <command>make showconfig</command> which
+ will show you all the configuration options for the port. Yet
+ another option is to type <command>make rmconfig</command>
+ which will remove all selected options and allow you to start
+ over. All of these options, and others, are explained in
+ great detail in in the man page for &man.ports.7;.</para>
