Thanks for those who responded.  It works fine and lasts a long time.  
The following script does NOT require any editing.  It simply executes 
and works.

\pset format unaligned
\pset fieldsep ''
\pset footer
\t
\o drops.sql
select 'drop function ' || nspname || '.' || proname || '(' || 
pg_catalog.oidvectortypes(p.proargtypes) || ') CASCADE;' from
pg_proc p join pg_namespace b on (p.pronamespace=b.oid) where 
nspname='public';
\o
\i drops.sql

Scott.
