Success! I finally decided that there was no real trick to this. It was just going to take trial and error, as I am the least mechanical person that I know. The problem was that I had to go down the top hole and make a turn into a very narrow passage to get it to the "hinge" to tie it off. The rope itself was too flimsy to make the turn. Coat hangar wire was too rigid. I finally used some trailer light wire and after 1000 attempts to make the turn, I got lucky. Then the problem was that the wire with electrical tape holding the rope was too bulky to make it back through. So then I threaded a thin metallic wire back through using the trailer wire, and then used this wire to thread the rope through. What a task for a guy who's family would starve if he had to make a living with his hands! Thanks for the help!
