Where and how are you trying to execute the "more" command?
You don't give enough details to answer the question you posted.

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQ L\8.2\bin>psql testDB xyz
Password for user xyz:

Hai,

one more thing is,i have instaled PostgreSQl directly on Windows.From postgresql.com ,from FTP mirrors.
But i have doubt is the installation some where wrong,as i have come across the forums that PostgreSQL has to be installed through Cygwin.Im confused.
Right now im able to create DB,tables and import data through PGAdmin.

Let's try to gather some information:

Open the DOS window and at the prompt type this command:
more abc
Hit the Enter key. What happens?

What version of Windows you are currently using?
Was it a fresh install, or did you upgrade from some previous version?

Typically you should have the more command (file more.com) in your Windows\system3 2 directory.
If you don't have it - install it. If it's there make sure that path C:\WINDOWS\syst em32 (or whatever the path is in your computer) is in the PATH variable.
You can take a quick look at your path settings using the set command at the DOS prompt.

C:\>set path
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\SecureCRT3.0;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin
