   Do I need to do this at the bash prompt somehow? I don't know how.
   
   Or do I log into my nt workstation and change users with the user manager?
   
   I guess I am confused how postgress works with users.

   Log in as "postgres" (empty password) and create some users.

   You should be able to save the excel table as a text file, with a tab
   separator.  You may need to use sed to convert the line_end from
   windows to unix form.  Then use the psql copy to put the data into the
   table.
   
   Use vi to create a to_dos.sh
   
   #! /usr/local/bin/tcsh -f
   cat $1 | sed -e 's/$/^M/' > xx
   
   where the ^M is a single character entered with control-v controm-m,
   
   Then use this to convert the text
