[OSM-newbies] Joining two pieces of a way

[Isaac Wingfield]

I have determined by inspection that the unnamed road here (Potlatch  
in edit mode highlights it):

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.265624&lon=-121.91252&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF

is an extension of Manda Drive, which is already a named way, and  
which shares an endpoint with the unnamed part. It seems that the  
proper thing to do is simply join the unnamed part to the named part,  
but I cannot figure out how to do that. The Potlatch "cheat sheet"  
says something about "Join/Merge to another line (if they share an end  
point)" by Shift/click, but nothing particularly useful happens when I  
do that.
