I'm trying to learn how to "storke" a path.  First, I define a path (using the pen tool) consisting of only two anchor points (both corners), and Photoshop draws me a thin line between them with little squares on top of each ot the two points.  Now, I want to "STROKE" this line with one of the brush tools, but, I am unable to get photoshop (CS2) to allow me to select "stroke", either in the popout (from right clicking on that "path" in the paths pallete, or by using the "stroke" icon at the bottom (when I move my cursor over it, I get a circle with diagonal line through it).  That tells me that I have not yet "SELECTED" that path.


How do I do that? 


PS.  I realize there are better ways to draw a simple straight line, but, I am using this most simple of OPEN  PATHS so that I can learn how I get a path stroked - once I get that down pat, I'll create more complicated paths, but, first I need to know how to "select" the path so I can "stroke" it.


Please help - I don't see any instructions on how to "select" a path.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
