From http://bebot.link/helpful-posts/mysql-n00b-help/msg2270/#msg2270:

mysqldump -u username -p --databases databasename --add-drop-table -a -f > filename.sql

Ah, I see the problem now. mysqldump is a separate program from mysql. So instead of running mysqldump in mysql, run it on it's own.

C:\Users\Chris>mysqldump -u username -p --databases databasename --add-drop-table -a -f > filename.sql
