Me, again...

In psql, is the \ that appears before a command supposed to terminate the
existing query line (if any), as well as escape the command from the query?
It seems that way, because anything after a \ command is ignored totally,
even another command. Once the command has been executed, that's it. Is
this the way that it's supposed to be?

Cheers...
