Ken,

I've also changed the database setup instructions to make it more "gui manager" based rather than "command line" based. I'm afraid I assumed most people would have their own favourite DB GUI administration program to help then do this and didn't think to add that to the list of software to download. I'm so used to having it on my PC that I forgot to mention it :-<

I have put up some screen dumps of how it can be done from the MySQL Administrator utility that is available for MySQL on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. I have also added MySQL Administrator (http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/administrator/) as "suggested but not required" software on the "Development Environment" page. Hopefully that will make it easier for people in the future.

Hope this all helps!

Fiona
