it does, and by-and-large it works.  (this example maximizes 
minimality rather than correctness.)

faerie:postgres (7)> cat foo.c
main()
{
  (void) PQsetdb("foo");
  (void) PQexec("create bar (x=int4)");
  (void) PQexec("append bar (x=5)");
  (void) PQfinish();
}
faerie:postgres (8)> cc foo.c /private/devel/postgres/lib/libpq.a
faerie:postgres (9)> a.out 
faerie:postgres (10)> monitor -c 'retrieve (bar.all)' foo

there are examples of retrieving rows in the reference manual and 
under src/regress.
