It sounds like Terry and Joe have found you a switch, but I wanted to
point out that 3-way switches can be wired more than one way, and if
yours was wired so that one wire from the switch you could see ran
straight to the light, was hot when on and cold when off, you could
just put a little neon light between that wire and ground.


I mean, that wire and neutral. I'm used to using tv words, where the
ground is used.

That wouldn't work in the opposite arrangement, and I can't keep the
other arrangements in my head.
