I think Radio Shack, Home Depot, Builder's Square, Ace Hardware
and other carry a neat little device which you can simply plug
into an outlet and get an LED readout of the wiring status of the
outlet.  Very helpful knowing what's what quickly and safely.

Mine's a GRT 500 Circuit Tester, made by GB Electricl, Inc.,
Milwaukee, WI 53209.  I think I got it at an electronic parts
outlet amazingly called Electronic Parts Outlet.
