Subject: copy command

Given that the following file "mytest" has been created with the attributes
separated by tabs:

	"Joe"	1400.0	40	"shoe"
	"Sam"	1200.0	29	"toy"
	"Bill"	1600.0	36	"candy"
	.

Can you tell me why I get the following error message when using the
copy command to load the emp class?

	* copy emp() from "~postgres/doc/tutorials/mytest" \g

	Query sent to backend is "copy emp() fromm
	"~postgres/doc/tutorials/mytest" "
	Enter info followed by a newline
	End with a dot on a line by itself.
	>> .
	Error: Unexpected response from the backend, exiting...

Moreover despite the error message, the class does get loaded with the
values.

Thanks, Raymond Frost.
