Can't tell too well from what you've said if you've done this, but with
a regular pilot usually you have to set the gas valve to pilot, then
depress & hold down the pilot button (usually red & right next to the
on/off/pilot knob) then light the pilot & keep pressing the red button

It was a black knob that had a straight black line which was presumably the
Pilot. The push knob and the turn switch were the same piece of hardened
plastic.

until the thermocouple gets warm enough to generate the little voltage
that tells the gas valve to stay on. Then you switch over to "on" and
you're good to go (assuming no other problems). Also once you shut off
the gas & especially if you've opened the line, it can take a fair
amount of time for gas to reach the pilot light, due to the low pressure
there. Not sure what you mean by "electronic pilot". Some furnace have
a pilotLESS electronic ignition. Obviously with these there is no pilot
to light.

I would assume the furnace would *work* if I had that pilotLESS jobbie,
correct?
