There is absolutely no difference. Shell prompt is used in *nix because of the different "shells" you can work in but it all comes down to the same thing.
Just type what is asked at the DOS prompt and it will work. The only part that won't work is the file in the mysql/scripts directory as they are scripts written to be used in a BASH shell in *nix. The perl programs will work if you have perl installed on you PC.

I am a Windows User and very used to the Dos Prompt. Can someone please tell me what the Shell Prompt is? What I am asking is the difference between a shell and a dos prompt vis-a-vis mysql.
