How can I get a TupleDesc for the return type of a non-SR function that
returns a tuple? I'm sure it's there somewhere but I just can't see it.

thanks

What do you have available to identify the type?

If you know the type OID, then (in CVS tip) I'd recommend the typcache.c
function lookup_rowtype_tupdesc().
