You are trying to run the psql command line while already being connected to the database through psql. You have to come out (run q)and execute that command from your host machine's command prompt.

You are already running psql so you can only execute SQL commands or psql specific commands

To connect to the newly created database use the psql command c:

postgres=# c mydb

The prompt should then change to

mydb=#

To run a SQL script from within psql use the psql command i

mydb=# i Telnet.sql

Note that psql commands (those starting with ) are not terminated with ; - that is only necessary for SQL commands.
