mysqldump is run at the system command-line, not within the mysql client environment.
This is most likely to be my problem then. I assumed that what is called the system command line to be the mysql client environment. The tutorial book that I have been going through instructs me to issue this command in the start menus run dialogue box:
C:\Windows\Desktop> cd C:\mysql\bin
and from there I have issued all commands in the black window.
Is this not the command line, and if not, what is?
Sorry for my ignorance, I am still a beginner.
