It's not a matter of learning, but of information. I know what a command line
is, but I still think the PostgreSQL documentation should indicate what one
should do to *use* the programs. I can easily figure out by inspection after
the install, that all/most of the executables ended up in the 'bin' directory so
I need to add it to my PATH. Nevertheless, I still expect a README, FAQ or the
manuals to point this out for completeness, i.e., regardless of newbie or expert
status.
