Victoria Thanks for the quick response. If I enter what you provided using a 'dos' command, I get "Access is denied".
I thought I had to be in Mysql in order to execute the command. So I enter (in dos) mysql\bin\mysql to get into mysql. And, I get the 'Welcome to the MySQL monitor' message. I type USE samp_db and get the 'Database changed' message. I then type samp_db (because that's the directory sample database is in, right?) < create_president.sql; and I hit return. I then get Error 1064. Have I misinterpreted the manual?
