#3 - you are now in psql
#4 - you are acting as if you are sitting at your OS shell prompt here
Either learn the psql to run an external file or get back to your OS shell
prompt and run the psql command from there.
Not sure why you did't get more errors.
Yes, backslashes inside psql denote the intent to use a special command
which "Long..." is not.
