New 6.4 psql help will show:

test=> \h select
Command: select
Description: retrieve tuples
Syntax:
SELECT [DISTINCT [ON attrN]] expr1 [AS attr1], ...exprN
[INTO [TABLE] class_name]
[FROM from_list]
[WHERE qual]
[GROUP BY group_list]
[HAVING having_clause]
[ORDER BY attr1 [ASC|DESC] [USING op1], ...attrN ]
[UNION [ALL] SELECT ...];

Removed <> around user-supplied values, and uppercase the reserved words
to make things clear. I don't think there is a need to do this on the
manual pages because we have bolding. Comments?
