By the way:

If I enter the following command directly into the shell, everything works fine and I can connect to the MySQL database simply by typing "mysql":

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"

But how can I add this to the path...??? I'm really a dummie, aren't I...
