How do I use a voltmeter to check continuity on a power cord connected to nothing other than the meter?

Don, better use a Voltmeter, not an Ohmmeter ;-)

Fred,

I never can remember, but my ohmmeter will tell me in an instant. Stick
one probe in the center conductor and check each lead for continuity -
the one with continuity is the positive lead.

or the other which I think is the negitive. Looked on line and in the
boob
can't find.
