Thank you very much, Josh.
This worked. The backward slashes were the problem.
I had tried the quote part earlier, but even that did not work because of the backward slashes.
Is there somewhere I can document this for other newbies facing the same issue?
Again, thank you very much.

Try using forward slashes in your path:
testdb=# \i c:/testdb.txt
And if you have spaces, enclose the path in quotation marks:
# \i 'C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/DB/testdb.txt'
