Thanks for your reply. Your solution is about the same as mine. Attached are my /etc/modules, ../init.d/halt, and ../init.d/reboot solutions. Selecting the "TurnOff" option from the Logoff menu works correctly, I'm not so good with "Reboot", but that's O.k. as I don't go that route very often.
Thanks again.
