Ah, OK. I had forgotten. Here is the new output:
$ sql test
psql (8.4devel) Type "help" for help.
test=> help
You are using psql, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL.
\h or \help for SQL help
\? for psql help
\q to quit psql
\copyright to view the copyright
test=> \?
General
\copyright show PostgreSQL usage and distribution terms
\g [FILE] or ; send query buffer to server (and results to file or
|pipe)
\h [NAME] help on syntax of SQL commands, * for all commands
\q quit psql
Query Buffer
\e [FILE] edit the query buffer (or file) with external editor
...
I moved '\g' up into the "General" section rather than make it a
single-entry section.
