This is troubling. What gave you the impression it shut the computer
down instantly? Did the power go off or did you just get a totally
black screen? The latter may need some fixing. There is a single
file to use for that repair. Let us know of this is the case:
Control-Alt-F1 gives a blank screen or a blank screen with a color
boarder around it.
If this happens then use "alt-f7" to get back to the GUI system.
Unless your configuration has been utterly mangled Control-Alt-F1
should not shut your computer down. This is the canonical way to get
out of X-Windows into the virtual consoles.
That said you can go to the "start" menu and locate System
Tools->Terminal.
Click on that and you'll get a console. It won't quite work the
same as
the usual descriptions. But some gentle experimentation and right
clicking
will show you the differences. That can be used as a starting
point for
learning. Bash, the shell usually in place, will behave the same
from a
command standpoint. Cut and paste is a touch different, though.
But to be repetitious I am concerned with your note with this line:

I will try it again after I am done using the computer.
