delimiter

[paqogomez]

I have just upgraded mySQL to version 5.0 from version 4. I simply copied
over the existing structure. All my databases are there and working just
fine.
When I try, however, to change the delimiter to create a stored procedure, I
dont get a response until I enter a ";" and press enter. Then I get a
syntax error.

Am I missing some software?

Below is the interactive prompt output.

TIA for any ideas.
