Dave:

My camera seems to be in a bad mood this morning. I'll start a new thread this week when I get a chance to get it working (i.e., buy batteries!).

If this helps, just put all of the tips of your fingers on that hand together, then put the rubber band around them, then open them up like an open tiger claw, then back to the original position. It's a lot less complicated than I'm making it seem.

Hope that helps!
