Right, done for environment variables, and attached. PGPASSORD mentions
..pgpass so I think we are done.

Have you looked at the output this creates? The xref already creates
link text containing the section title. You don't need to write
"Environment variables" again.

I did look and I see:

http://developer.postgresql.org/doc...s/app-psql.html

Environment Variables (Section 27.11)

Is that how it should look? Should I be using different tags? I would
rather not show the numbers but I thought that was required when linking
from the ref pages to the main docs.
