I am thinking 'help' is too much indirection for users -- it just tells
them another command.  How about:

        \g or ';' to execute a query\n"
        \? and \h for help
        \q to quit

I have to disagree here. \h is completely counterintuitive to a "user", let alone \?. The word "help" is about as plain as day as you can get.

Google search for the word help: 3,330,000,000
  First result, help.com
Google search for the expression \h: 1,800,000,000
  First result, Hydrogen

Plainly spoken, easily understandable *help* for the masses. :)
