Hello all,

THanks for taking time to explain this in detail. THe information was  
very helpful as far as clearing a few points up. I think what I need  
to do to really understand is not just sit and think about it, but  
just do it. I think what I should do is setup a simple circuit with a  
battery and bulb or something like that and I imagine the same  
princeples would apply and rig up the switch arrangement. Of course I  
could just dive in and you can bet if I got things wrong, the  
breakers will either tell the story or the switches won't work  
properly. I think I have the idea, but sometimes I just have to  
figure it out by doing it.
I did this once when converting a pull-chain light to a switch  
because my sighted wife can't see worth a damn in the dark and  
couldn't always find the string. So, I jus removed the fixture, found  
the correct wire, installed the switch, found that did work, replaced  
the fixture, and then went wild and then added in another fixture on  
the same circuit. This was to put light over in the other half of the  
room so she  could see stuff on the shelf. Of course not wanting to  
toss the light, I put the pull-chain fixture in a little store room  
in the basement where we keep the games and such and added that in by  
just cutting into an existing line. So, like I said, I generally  
figure stuff out by doing it, but 3-way switches seem simple on the  
surface, but it can be confusing. grin
Thanks again to all for the info.
