Not sure why you say of course there. \d output is properly paginated

I can, however, run

Again, you can't use redirection via the psql prompt. But you can
do it
via your shell command line:
$ psql -c \dt xrms.tables
Well, that doesn't seem to be working here, either:

Dude, pg_dump is not a psql command, nor is it a SQL command.

but when I try that:

Hello, again, Rod.
I saw all the other posts but you might look at dbwrench (a Java
