Did you hit Enter after \e ?

Jan,

Yes. For example, I put a previous command at the prompt to be modified. It
began with 'insert ...' so I added an initial \e to the command. psql told
me that \einsert is not a valid command after I pressed the [Enter] key.

It is the other way around, like in


postgres-# select now()\e


That puts "select now()" into vi(1) for me.


Regards, Jan
