I'm new to Drupal, but a quick learner.
I've ran into a problem though.
I'm installing some modules like ejournal. Several of these modules have installation instructions that state:

-------------
"2. Load the database definition file.
Create the database tables by using user_import.mysql using the tool of your choice
(e.g. phpmyadmin). For mysql and command line access use:

mysql -u user -p drupal user_import/user_import.mysql

Replace 'user' with the MySQL username, and 'drupal' with the
database being used."
---------------

I'm lost. I need more detail. I have phpmyadmin, but I'm lost from there.

Thanks,

There are some files in your 'drupal/database' directory, with names ending in '.mysql'. Actually they are text files containing MySQL statements. You pick the one for your MySQL version.

You go to phpMyAdmin, open your database, and click on the SQL tab on the top.
Now you can
- either copy and paste the content of your '.mysql' file in the window and hit 'Go'
- or upload and run your '.mysql' file using the button at the bottom.

Edited to add: Sorry, I misread. You get the '.mysql' file from the module.

Thanks. It lead me to some other problems within the module ejournal, but you helped much with the installation process. Thanks.
