When right clicking on the Workplace shell, you should get a menu that
has these choices:

                Open         ->
                Refresh Now
                Help         ->
                Create Shadow
                Lockup now
                Shut down
                System setup
                Find...
                Select       ->
                Sort         ->
                Arrange

I am not getting that menu, but have recently been getting:

                Open           ->
                Refresh now
                Help           ->
                Create another ->
                Copy
                Move
                Create Shadow
                Delete
                Find
                Select         ->
                Sort           ->
                Arrange

The only way I can shut the system down (short of rebooting or turning it off)
is to leave OS/2 through dual boot.

Has anyone run into this problem?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

P.S. There is a keyboard technique for shutting down which uses alt+shift+tab
and so on.  That method will not bring up the shutdown routine either.
(This is OS/2 2.1)
