Thanks. I've gotten a little further along with this now. In my C
code I added:

    putenv("MSQL_TCP_PORT=1112");

   But now I get the message "Can't get hostname for your address"
back. Apparently this is because this is running on a virtual-host
Web server where they have not bothered to resolve the IP address
back to a hostname.

  I can use the msql user interface on the same machine to connect to
my root mSQL database after setting the environment variable.

 I may need to bother the ISP about this one.
