@Lief, @Tom: Good points (especially 'and John's not exactly the first
person to forget a semicolon.' ;)

Part of the problem may be that 'postgres=#' and 'postgres-#' look
mighty similar.  If so, a simple fix would be to change PROMPT2 from
'%/%R%# ' to '%R%# ', that is, make a toplevel prompt show the
database name:

    postgres=#

and drop the database name in the 'continuation' prompt:

    -#

which would make it a lot more obvious that it's waiting for input.
John (et al) -- what do you think?
