executing text file in xp pro

Hello,
I have just downloaded MySQL (the MSI file) and used the configuration wizard as instructed by the book "MySQL Touroial". I'm running XP Pro on my computer and wanted to create a database using a text file. I saved a text file "testscript" in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\scripts. The book doesn't say where to place the file, but it makes sense to place it there because that's where all the other scripts are saved. I inupt in the comand line client the following...

mysql> source testscript;

and got the following error message...

failed to open file 'testscrip', error 2

Can anybody tell me what the problem is?
Please let me know, it would make things sooo much easier.
Thank you,
Rick
