Trying to import SQL script file into MySQL5.1

[Subir Mukherjee]

Hi:

I am logged in to the command prompt interface @ mysql>

Username is: root
Database name is: mysql
Script file that I am trying to import is: dump.sql
Then at command prompt, I use
mysql> mysql -u root -p mysql< dump.sql

I keep getting the error ERROR 1064 <42000>; You have an error in the SQL syntax. Check the manual.......bla bla

FYI, the script file that I am trying to import is attached below
<code>
