How to Execute MySQL program in Unix Terminal on OS X?

I am trying to get to the MySQL Monitor in Unix on the OS X. I am logged into the Unix terminal as a root user. I can see the executable MySQL programs sitting in the /usr/local/mysql/bin file as mysql* and mysqladmin*. However when I type mysql or mysqladmin at the unix prompt unix does this:

mysql
/usr/local/mysql/bin

Unix never launches mysql and instead returns the directory path "/usr/local/mysql/bin". I am want to get to the MySQL Monitor. I have successfully created databases using phpMyAdmin so I should be able to see them in the Monitor.

Any Ideas?
