A nice way to learn to edit on any unix system is with vi.
Just type "vi /etc/rc.conf" and you can make changes.
I would recommand however, to read the man of vi before.
When you wish to view rc.conf just type "view /etc/rc.conf"
I guess for beginning ppl there are more easy editors, but then
you would have to install then from the packages.

One thing i dont understand though.
I never had to configure wscons, normally you just have to set wscons to yes
in /etc/rc.conf, that's all.
Btw, the line of wscons is al the very end of /etc/rc.conf
By default it's set to no, set it to yes.
Bye,
