thx, will.

i was looking at this exact prob for about 2 hrs yesterday and
still couldn't find how to do it.  (i even bought momjian's
"postgresql--intro and concepts" book and was still shootin' 
blanks.) 

at least now i should be able to start creating db's and having
fun.  

<aside>man's may be good for the broad picture, but ofttimes
it's nut-'n-bolts details _with examples_  that make all the 
difference in the world.  and this list has a way of filling
that void.</aside>

so, thx, again.
