Default Please don't laugh .. but how do I shutdown

Hi,

New to Linux .. just installed Mandrake 10.0.

I read the manual and it says to logout and I will get the following dlg
with options :
http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/Mandrak...#kde-logout-yn
But, this dlg never appears .. instead I get a 'End Session for "UserID"'
with the options Logout and Cancel. Logout, takes me back to the login
screen. So I can't shutdown there.

I tried the shutdown command from the shell and got a Command not Found
message.

From the Run Command dlg, I enter "shutdown" and press enter and get "Could
not run the specified command".

Is this me doing something wrong? Or is there something wrong with my
setup?

TIA,
John
