AFAICT, this isn't true. Pgscript is a client specific language. There is a whole description of what it can do in pgadmin's manual. This was interesting when PostgreSQL didn't have the DO statement. Now that we do, it's rather pointless.
Yeah, I probably should have either researched the answer or just left it alone. I am not all that familiar with pgAdmin - I figured it was just a souped up script runner with maybe a couple of features like variables but otherwise allowing only SQL commands.
