Here's pair of good newbie question:

Is there a Postgres equivalent to the Ingres "help" command?  That is, a 
command that will display the structure of a class. 

How something like the Ingres "range"?  Is there a way to establish an 
alias for a class?

						Thanks in advance,
						Dan Haskell

no, but there are some easy queries to answer this listed in the user 
manual (and in src/examples/chapter15).

nope, just the "from" clause.
