Dear Mark and Regina,
Thank you for your answers. Mark you're probably right because I've done the test to verify if 'more.exe' exists in my Win32 System, unfortunatelly it's out of the Win32 System directory. Probably this issue causes the lack of Postgres configuration for better using psql terminal for creating and loading data in PostGIS. So I'm wondering how to come over this issue.
For instance I'm using PGAdmin to create and load data in the server, as suggest Regina, but I get many data files with more 1000 records so psql is better for this to use the pg_dump function
Thank again
Best regards
