Thanks Skip... turns out my cable broke right at the point where it goes down 
into the winder... just 3/4" lost from the end. I'm hoping the cable, in the 
course, of duty, has stretched sufficiently to allow me simply to re-anchor 
the broken end inside the winder thing. The job is about half done, I think I 
have it wound correctly... will hopefully complete it successfully tomorrow, 
thanks to everyone's help- Ralph's especially for the great tutorial posted 
to the list.

Kind regards,
Courtney
