If we wanted to improve the psql help here we'd have two options: Add to the description: prepare a statement for execution (undo this with Deallocate) or teach our build system to add our "see also" section to the psql help pages. The second seems reasonable but non-trivial. The first just seems odd when reading the website. There may be a third option but I actually haven't ever explored the psql help build module. David J.
