Thanks again! You're quite right, I didn't think to look in /Library, but there it is! However, when I try that command of yours, I get a password query, but it doesn't accept my password. How do I find out the correct password for super-user? My account is admin, & I earlier created a postgres administrator account (because I was told that a postgres user already existed, even though it doesn't show up in the accounts. I tried running your command but preceded by sudo instead, but terminal said I had illegal option -m.
I think the easiest approach to get you started is to download and install the startup item. Then reboot your computer. You won't need to know the postgres user password to start the server and it will be started automatically when your computer starts.
