Using Mysql 5 on darwin (OS x).

This command
mysql -uroot -p****** -e "SELECT schema_name FROM

gives me a a dump of the entire mysql help screen, _not_ the
databases I am after.

Interesting ... when I try it, I get the output that, I suspect, you want. Since mine is Windows cmd-line, I put it all on one line, but I believe that all Unix-likes let one continue a string until finished. When I break the "e"-string off, I get a syntax error, as if entered from the MySQL command prompt, semicolon too soon. I cannot get the output that you describe unless I slip question-mark in.
