Copy file to and from my account on the CS Linux server "mirage".

Launch psql with your postgresql user name:

psql -U user-name database-name

The psql prompt:

includes the name of the database you're working on right now (e.g. "books=#" or "olympics=#")
shows = when it's ready for a new \-directive or SQL query ("books=#")
shows - when you're in the middle of an SQL query ("books-#")

The rest of these are "psql directives"—stuff you type at the psql prompt.
