and typed the following:

I have 3 shades in my room. The kind that you pull down, and when you want
to raise them,
you have to pull them down a bit, and then ease them back up. They don't
have any strings
on them. Are there strings that you can clip on to them? Where can I buy
them? The longer
the better, as I am in a wheelchair. Thanks in advance.

I don't have any roll-up shades in my house and haven't checked them out
in a long while, but they used to have a cord attached in the center of
the wood stiffener at the bottom of the shade. There was a pull ring
attached to the bottom of the cord. If there is a wood stiffener at the
bottom of the shade, how about drilling a hole in the center and
attaching your own cord and pull ring?
