Thanks for this, guys. I got it. IAmSam was right, I just had to find it. I found out that in the Gradient Tool options dialog I wasn't selecting the top color selector over the gradient bar, which makes the Opacity option available, which you then turn down to 0% to get the effect of color to transparent, which in turn allows multiple applications of the gradient tool. Knowing is half the battle. Cheers.
