This is not possible at the moment. You can only call commands at the
moment but not get the output. It is possible to redirect the output into
a file
    call "psql >out.tmp -d ....."
And read this file with REBOL.
    read %out.tmp

I will add the feature to get the result and output of the call.
Commander.c is not ready.
