The wall plug (of a computer power cable) that goes into the wall outlet
(120V)

Ok, just to recap.  Once I cut the end off the computer cable, I should get
three conducting wire out of it.  The important one is the one that goes to
ground, which
according the the diagram above should be the bottom middle one labeled as
'C'.  The other two (A &B) goes to live AC 120V and polarity doesn't matter
(Canada).  Right?
By the way, I will check continuity with a multimeter to make sure the wires
are correct.   I just spend quite a bit of $ to pick up a AB  SLC500 and
don't want
anything bad to happen to it.

Looking at the convenience outlet on the wall, A (the longer slot) is
neutral, B is the hot lead, C is the ground.  As I recal, the electrical
codes in Canada are the same as the US.

Pick up a cheap meter, if you are working with PLC's it'll be handy.  A to C
should be a few volts.  A to B should read ~120 VAC. B to C should read ~120
VAC.
