Tom,
My apologies for wasting your time. I wasn't calling pg_restore as I'd
described but with the -f flag so of course it was hanging waiting for
input. I hope my embarrassment is sufficient punishment.
Would you accept the second part of that post about handling the file
name in pgAdmin Backup and Restore? I will resubmit if you think it
would be useful.
Scott
