I am new with WordPress but not with computers. I thought I could figure this out but when it comes to setting up the mysql stuff it always assumes I have access to cPanel or PhPmyAdmin. My server (my host) has neither. I just have to do it "manually".
How is that done? Please help :)

I'm assuming your host already has php/mysql?
If so, you should be able to install phpmyadmin in a folder of your site - like
root/phpmyadmin
you can get it here
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
install it in your folder
access it through your browser - like
http://example.com/phpmyadmin/index.php
you can then set up a database with a user, etc. for wordpress to use
this assumes your host lets you do this and provides a connection for the mysql server
