Response line returns blank 1

[TaiChi56]

I have MySQL. When I type create database guestbook: I get a arrow like this -> and a blank line instead of what I am expecting. Which is Query OK 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

I am taking this from a tutorial. What is wrong?? Thank you. The secret to education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.

you forgot to add semicolon at the end of the command -> ";"
