Rand: I think you referring to the MySQL command line program. Download MySQLCC from the site, install it and fire away. It is a bit unstable at times, but it is a nice tool IMHO.
If you want to learn DOS (do your mean Unix?) then try Sam's publishing. I have had good luck with the xxx in 21 days series. Best Regards, Boyd E.

I am very new to this database thing. I don't want to clog up the board with all the basic questions that I need answered. I have been cataloging contact info and other things in MS Excel for years. I am familiar with the base concepts of a database; I think, but I have no idea what goes on in a DOS window. It took me a few days to figure out that I was going to have to use it to access the software. (I said I was new to this) I was hoping that the vast network of knowledge could point me in the direction of a source of what it is that I need to know about DOS to get moving on this darn 21 day tutorial I am stuck on day two of.
