Thank you. That got me what I needed, although it's still cumbersome.
I bumped it up to 10000 characters. I opened the table in an edit
window, selected a long filter, made sure the entire contents of the
field was marked, copied it onto my clipboard, and pasted it into
Wordpad.
I can work with that, but I was hoping for was a way to get the long
filter into some nicely word-wrapped message box or onto the scratch pad
or someplace else not on a grid.

My stack_requests table has a field named inventory_filter of
type text. The size of that field is not specified. It can contain a
string several hundred characters long. Using PgAdmin, how can I see
the entire inventory_filter field for a given record no matter how long
it is? A query like "select * from inventory_record where key =
'some_key' " gives me a grid, and no matter how big I make the
inventory_filter column, I can't see the whole thing. Event if I limit
my query to the inventory_record column, the display is limited to the
width of my monitor, which is often not enough. How can I use PgAdmin
to see the entire field?
In PgAdmin's config, you can change how much is returned:
File > Options > Query Tool > Max. characters per column
