It has something to do with certain shell's expansion of ? - for the
longest time I'd
It's a shell thing: Vince is running csh (or a derivative thereof)

Vince, try:
psql -\?

all you guy unix?
under some shells, both * and ? are expanded to matched file names in current

for example FreeBSD's csh.
you should use psql -\? to get help screen, this sucks,
"?" shouldn't be used as a help screen argument.
