[support] setting log-in link to "cas"

Hi All ...

I've been lurking for a little bit now and finally have a 'real'  
question.  I've been very pleased with testing Drupal so far. I have  
a small group that needs a content management platform. Drupal seems  
to provide the right balance of being configurable-yet-simple enough  
to use for the task.

Also, I'm looking to use single sign-on with drupal via CAS.  The  
plug-in installs without a hitch and I configured the host, path  
etc.  In the instructions it says to:

 > 3) Set a Login link (primary links in your theme works well) that  
goes to "cas"

I'm not quite getting it. Does it mean to add a menu item with a path  
of "cas" or "/cas"?  If so, that does not work. Or does it mean to  
hack the them where the login block is? As far as I can see, the  
login form action is just  "/?q=node&destination=".  Would you set  
that to "?q=cas" or "?q=node/cas" ? What in the 'theme' would you  
modify? Themes are coming up on my list of things to figure out ...  
but grepping for 'login' or 'user-login' in my current theme's  
directory doesn't turn anything up in those files.

TIA,

Jason
