Somebody draw me a picture, please

This shouldn't be hard.

I'm trying to install an open source feature on a Web site--specifically 
WebCalendar, so that my wife's medical practice can do their scheduling 
online instead of on paper. Trying to read through the admin manual, I 
see that I have to install an application that connects WebCalendar to 
the MySQL database provided by the hosting company. Comparing the two 
lists of possibilities (the list that WebCalendar is compatible with and 
the list that the hosting company can work with), it seems that 
phpMyAdmin is the correct choice.

So now I'm trying to work my way through the installation, 
configuration, and setup of phpMyAdmin before I can go back to the setup 
of WebCalendar.

But--I'm sorry to say this--the documentation for both of these 
applications is dense, technical, written for programmers who are 
already familiar with the products in question, .... In any case, it 
isn't written with me in mind, and I'm lost. The documentation is asking 
me to make choices without explaining the alternatives in comprehensible 
English.

If someone could throw me a rope, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dick
