How do I get started talking to my webmatrix sql server

get a prompt up (in a program like telnet / msdos window) so that I can run sql commands on my webmatrix accounts sql server. I've been trying to connect using telnet but i think maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick or I'm doing something wrong.

here's a link where you click through "how to connect" on the "myserver page" I searched the page for "connect" and found 0 occurances.

the only way I know of to create table is through an sql prompt,

is there another way or can somebody give me some pointers cos i'm well stuck.|||Will webmatrixhosting let you use Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer?|||i have windows XP pro, it doesn't come with it does it?

this isn't my main priority at the moment though,

then I might actually be able to start coding the ASP.NET I'm required to produced (pretty much by the end of the week)|||Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer are "free" tools provided with SQL Server 2k.
Even when demo period is over, you can still use 'em.

Install MSDE.
Download SQL Server 2k.
Then just choose "SQL Server Tools only" during install.|||wicked!

I was looking for a trial on the ms site but couldn't find one b4 - didn't think they had one, downloading it now :)
