[Obe, Regina]

You can actually go straight from sql statement to shape file
 
as shown at the bottom of this cheatsheet

Hope that helps,

a) Create a table with the select (e.g. create [temp] table my_table as
<select ...>;)

and then either:

b) populate geometry columns with the relevant columns and use the
pgsql2shp to create a shape file

or

c) copy my_table to '/tmp/my_table.unl' with delimiter '|' null '';

depending on what you need the data for ... the first option gets you
the ability to go to ESRI, MMS, etc. The 2nd is more for moving to
another postGIS system.
