Well I found and downloaded some GUI which doesn't seem to do
anything...asks me to login and says my login is wrong (using the
login I set for mySQL)..

an example would be great. I have installed the
mm.mysql-2.0.4.-bin.jar into my tomcat directory, and tomcat is
running.

I just am not sure how to get started mainly - my SQL seems to be
running...

Also, in the instructions there are all these directions to do shell
commands like:

shell> scripts/mysql_install_db

I assumed that meant go into the CMD and do shell> etc, but thats not
it. Just curious then what a shell command is. Appears I don't need
it since mySQL seems to be running...
