This is probably because you did not install the new system software
properly.  The "Shutdown" feature requires System 4.0 or later to
operate correctly; on previous systems, only the single menu entry
"Shutdown" should appear, which acts the way it used to.
With System 4.0, there are two menu entries:  Restart and ShutDown.
Restart acts like the old ShutDown command.  ShutDown does everything
the Restart command does, except that instead of restarting the machine
it blacks the screen and puts up an alert saying "You may now power
off the computer safely." (with a Restart button in case you really
meant restart).  This is so you don't have to race with the Mac to turn
it off before it starts to reboot.

On the Macintosh II and Macintosh XL, Restart restarts the machine and
ShutDown turns the power off.

If you're crashing when you select restart it's probably because you
only partially installed the system software and not all of the resources
the ShutDown command needs are present.  Use the Installer or replace
your System File with System 4.0 or later.
