Re: psql error - "unrecognizable command" V8.0.0 beta

Well, as I mentioned, I cannot reproduce this problem on other PC's running
Win 2K or XP.  It must be a system path issue on my PC.  I can't test it
right now, but I'll try ensuring that the system knows where to find the
"more" executable and try it again.

Much thanks.
