[OM] problem loading film in olympus xa

sorry to intrude on valuable bandwidth...

recently i got an olympus xa...which appears to be in excellent working
order...
no instruction manual came with it...

my film loading technique is clumsy at best...i can not get the narrow
film end to stay firmly in place on the winder side...and as i advance
the film it appears after opening the back to have very loosely
collected a bit...but prehaps not enough for a picture...i assume i can
continue with picture taking but am not sure i'll get snugly wound film
till half-way into the roll or more...?

in short, (no pun intended) the teeth (or is it only one tooth) appear
to be skipping holes in the film as i advance the little winder on the
upper right...

this is frustrating...and i haven't a clue how to solve it...

any tips would be appreciated...thanks!

vty,

Marc Forrest

also looking for a tiny hard shell case to use for stowing the little
camera while traveling...advice?
