In the middle of the cord I've wrapped a piece of electrical tape forming a tab that sticks out. I then just unclip the dome light, stick the tab into the hole and clip the dome light back in which securely pinches the tape, holding the cord up. I tie the ends of the curtain cord on the two knobs on either side of the bus. This is a solution that is easy to put up and take down. If I were going to make it more permanant I would probably make some kind of metal tab or hook in the middle to hang the cord on, and maybe something other than the knobs on the side to tie it to. Also, some other kind of tape might be better than electrical since it stretches fairly easily (strapping tape comes to mind). John
