Soo..  there are quite a few man pages, and in-psql's help is also
pretty nice (\h <command> and \?).  That's certainly what I typically
use.  I admit that we don't include the full command description in the
\h (just the syntax), but that's still extremely useful.

Would a \h+ that gave you the text from the web-page be useful..?  That,
plus the various man pages, would cover an awful lot of what's in SGML..

	Thanks,

		Stephen
