Lester,
The docs to pg_dump are here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-pgdump.html
The above documentation has lots of examples at the end. You probably
want something like:
pg_dump -U db_user_name db_name > ~/Desktop/db_name.sql
P.S. You need to use "reply all" so your response goes back to the list.
