You can return a record:

create function thing(text) returns record as 'select * from whatever
where id=$1' language sql;

Hope this helps.

 I am trying to create a simple function using SQL rather than PGSQL. At
this point, it's just for the exercise.

 Is it possible to create a function similar to the following:

     create function thing(text) as select * from whatever where id=$1;

 Do I need to specify all of the columns from the table (whatever) as out
parameters, or as a return type, or can I have a generic table returned from
this?

 Thanks,

 Mark
