I run Win Me and I use a product called MySql Front. This product (shareware) will allow you to import/export tables back and forth between your web server and your local machine.
You can e-mail the author of this program at:
info@anse.de
or check out his web site at:
http://www.mysqlfront.de/
It works very well, with just a few minor glitches here and there. And you can dump that stupid DOS-like MySql monitor, since MySql Front gives you all the views you need, similiar to the way MS Access looks.
Have fun!
