path of the sql dir??[nbsp][nbsp]ie: c:\dogs\cats being like

You are trying to do things without understanding what you are doing...[nbsp][nbsp]:(

This will only lead to countless frustration as you overcome your initial obstacles...

As I've explained in the email you sent to support, their is no need for Telnet access to the MySQL Database Engines - so I won't reiterate here...

A path for you to follow:
1) Have you read the FutureQuest MySQL Activation Letter
2) Have you read the tutorial at www.mysql.com (http://www.mysql.com)
3) Have you read the tutorial at www.devshed.com (http://www.devshed.com)
4) Have you purchased a good MySQL book that will transform you from a MySQL newbie to a pro?

Here are some links for #4:

The above is how most people get started and progress from:
'not a clue'
to
'wow, I didn't know MySQL could do that'
and eventually
'Hey Monty, need some help writing the new Rollback/Transaction system?'[nbsp][nbsp];)

I really hope this helps...

The information that I was looking for was this:

Telnet into your NORMAL WEBSITE, then run the command line (which was sent in the email -- but not stated clearly what to do with the command line) to enter the database, then activate it.[nbsp][nbsp]Why aren't the databases active when we sign up for them?

Your databases are activated before you are sent a MySQL Activation Letter - there is nothing you need to do on the server to "activate" your databases...

The fact that you have to telnet into your account before being able to access the MySQL server is something that is explained in any MySQL tutorial. Specifically, you need to be logged in *somewhere* to a machine which has access to the MySQL server and has the MySQL monitor client installed. The Activation Letter also specifies that the example commands are to be run from your shell login...

You don't need to log in to the MySQL command line in order to use it from within your scripts - example usage is also provided within the Activation Letter for Perl as well as PHP. It also contains links to a few select tutorials that are known to be helpful in getting started with MySQL - I personally learned using those very same tutorials, which is why I personally included them within the Activation Letter for MySQL.

Hope this helps clear any confusion.
