Documentation is thin.. 
this is a normal query
bash-2.05a$  query-pr --format summary   -d gnats-sandpit --state="open|analyzed|feedback|suspended|moderate|test" --category=test-1
       2 gnats-ad test-1   open      non-criti low      computersh index broke
       5 Duncan_L test-1   open      non-criti low      computersh my adsl router arrived
       7 gnats-ad test-1   open      critical  high     computersh Attaching a bmp

This is how i read the docco.. mabye i am wrong
bash-2.05a$  query-pr --format "%s %s %s" State Originator Responsible  -d gnats-sandpit --state="open|analyzed|feedback|suspended|moderate|test" --category=test-1
query-pr: Invalid field name or query format %s

and this seems to work but doesnt return results
bash-2.05a$  query-pr --format Responsible "%F"  -d gnats-sandpit --state="open|analyzed|feedback|suspended|moderate|test" --category=test-1
query-pr: no PRs matched

Ouch. The docs are wrong. The whole format expression needs to be quoted, 
like this:

query-pr --format '"%s %s %s" State Originator Responsible'
