Thanks, Brian.
I have sort of figured this out by trying various ways of giving the eject 
command. Yes, I have an HP CD-Writer and a cdrom, and a DVDrom (which I 
haven't figured out how to use yet).

I did make sure I had Konquerer and every other program no longer connected to 
the cd-writer drive (in my case, /mnt/cdrom), but it would not open after K3b 
ejected it and I closed it again to see if anything really showed up on it. 
But if I get you right - the syntax is eject mounted-drive - correct?
I'm making myself crib notes on cardstock here.
