Thanks, David, but I can't even find a shell tool (Command Tool) on the KDE desktop.

You can open a shell prompt in KDE by selecting KDE Main Menu => System => Shell.

HI :)

I think pressing Ctrl & F2 gives a command-line pop-up box but from there i would try typing in

konsole

to try to open a proper normal command-line. This guide might help

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
