Actually, that's not what I suggested. First make sure you are in
the samp_db directory, then run mysql using its full path. Given the
pathnames you list below, you should run these commands:
cd \mysql1\samp_db
c:\mysql1\bin\mysql samp_db < create_president.sql

Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and add C:\mysql1\bin to the value of PATH
that you find there...
