Oh, thank you so much. That does help, but now I'm stuck again for some
reason...
I am at the 'mysql>' prompt, and type in:
C:\mysql\bin;
...to get to the bin directory...and i got an error in syntax....why?
i also tried typing:
mysqladmin -uroot -password ******;
and got another error..
any help?
thanks-
mac
