Thanks for the "contents" command for port. I'm going through it, but, of course, when you're new you miss a few things and I was looking more for something that would search all packages. I did check, using "contents," the kdebase4 package, but found no reference to kate anywhere in there. I did find, under the kappfinder directory (/opt/local/share/apps/kappfinder/apps) indications of many programs that I don't see listed anywhere on my system. I also used the find command (as in from the shell, not a port command) to see if I could find it and did find a director, katepart (/opt/local/share/apps/katepart). My guess is it's in there and if I could actually start KDE in some way that I might be able to run it from the menu, but I'm not sure. But no matter what I did, I could NOT find a file named "kate" and on Linux, I know that's the filename. I would think, as you pointed out, that it'd be in the kdebase4, but I can't find an executable in there, not within /opt/local, or within /Applications/MacPorts (I'm using find ./ -name *kate*). Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seem to be there -- but I'm willing to be proven an idiot if someone can show me that it's obvious and I missed it!
