Insert psql commands inside a script

<br /><p><font face="Arial" size="2">  I have used the psql -f /tmp/SelectCommands.sql before, but now I want to put
thesql statement right in the shell script.  I haven't had any luck.  Is there a command I can use that will not point
toa file for the sql instructions but right on the same line.  I use very short psql commands and would like to do it
allwith 1 file.</font><p><font face="Arial" size="2">Thank You</font><br /><font face="Arial"
