I am running Gnome with Red Hat Linux 6.0.

  Gnome seems a bit flakey and it locks-up often.  How can I gain
COMMAND LINE ACCESS so I can halt or reboot the system.  I have no
control over the mouse.  I'm not sure if I have keyboard control.
I don't like just powering down the system, it seems to have quite a
negative effect on the next reboot!

  I'm pretty new to Linux and Gnome.
I worked alot with Unix about 12 yrs ago.  I've, unfortunatley,  been
on the "dark side" ever since  :o(

Please help, thanks
