I was under the impression that a path is a vector usually created by the pen tool (although I know there are other ways). Just the first lines of your reply CERTAINLY HELPS.Thank you for explaining that.

It's a hard concept to grasp, whereas the idea of a path being a vector is very sensible. I've used the shape tool to make squares, circles, custom shapes, and I thought all of those are vectors, so it seems like a path is just that. Obviously I'm wrong

I actually did set up the brush tool to stroke the path. I can see the stroked line. However, it's not a rasterized graphic, so I can't transform it, erase it, adjust etc.

I tried to follow the instructions. I see the shape tool, however I don't see a way to create, as you called it an "Open" shape. It seems if you create a shape you must choose one of the predefined or custom shapes. So.... I'm still confused. What they should do in the shape toolbar is let you select a path as your custom shape, that would be nice.

Any additional or clearer instructions on converting my path to a rasterized line would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
