I often link PG dbs to Access front ends, and have a VBA script that digs
the descriptions out of the pg_desc table to use as the Access description
(which the Access GUI automatically shows as help, etc.)
So, yes, I find them useful.
One small point I learned recently: you can used regular expressions with
the \d* commands. So, to find all functions that start with 'web_':
\df web_
to find all that *contain* web:
\df .*web_.*
Nifty!
