Thanks,
It is still strange though that I get different behavior
from the exact same source when built on two different
computers. I installed 7.0.2 on my laptop and I get an
interactive prompt ">". On my linux box I installed 7.0.2
and I get a "#" as the last character in the psql prompt.
The latter does not discard semi-colons after the prompt.
PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc
