HDRI problem- missing materials

Its pretty obvious that the interface in diffrent in maya 7 as opposed to maya 6.5. But i was doing this tutorial and it said to creat a dgs material and a dielectric material. when I look through the menus, I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know either where to find it or the maya7 equivelant(sp?)?

you have to go to preferneces - plugin manager- and enable the mental ray one

every maya (even pirated, i think (i wouldnt know)) has Mental RAy, its built in, you cant get the program without it
