How do I create a postgres database on my Mindspring-hosted (Unix) server? My computer is an NT. I'm fairly clueless :-)

Can you get access to the CONSOLE? SSH?

if yes you can execute this command...

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb <dbname>

/usr/local/pgsql is where the postgresql server has been installed.

Considering that this is a hosted server, you should have a graphical 
control panel that allows you to create database and manage them.
Are you sure you did not miss anything on their control panel?
