 Well so I think.

 I used to be able to do this with an earlier build

 {{{

 shp2pgsql -c -s 4269 -g the_geom tl_2009_11_state tiger_data.dc_state >
 test.sql
 }}}


 And that would output all the stuff.  Gui works great though.  Doesn't
 work anymore - commandline just outputs the help.

 However if I pass in no arguments like so


 {{{
 shp2pgsql tl_2009_11_state tiger_data.dc_state > test.sql
 }}}


 It works.

 I think its the same for all shape files.  All the ones I've tested behave
 the same.
 for reference though -- been testing these ones
