OK, thanks. There is therefore one question I'd welcome being answered.

Is it 'safe' for me to go on as I have? i.e. to proceed to the shutdown
freeze and then simply end the process by closing the xfce window? I always
save all the files I've been working on and shut their windows before
starting the shutdown. As yet I've seen no signs of a problem, but I have
no idea if I have just been lucky!

Yes, this is safe. By the time you reach the shutdown freeze, RISC OS has fully shutdown itself - there should be no ill effects when you then close the window.
