Click the the Terminal Emulation button on the panel under KDE in Redhat
Linux 6.1 to get a shell window. The first time it opens it is titled
"Welcome to the console" but after you click on it it changes to
"konsole" (note the "k" for KDE). This app also offers a "linux
console", a "root console" and a "shell", as well as Midnight Commander.
