Door Lock/Interior Handle Cable Problem

["Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@email.msn.com>]

    I got into the door today and once I undid the interior door handle
cable the lock started working properly.  So I hooked the cable back up to
the interior handle and got it to sit properly.  Before I got the panel back
on I tried the lock again and it doesn't work.  What seems to be going on is
the interior handle cable is getting stretched a bit too much while the
interior handle is sitting in the normal position.  That isn't allowing the
lock to go all the way into the lock position.  Why is the cable for the
interior handle stretched to far in the handle before it is opened?
Everything with the cable and the handle meets up just right.  I am thinking
I may have to trim a little off the cable guide at the handle, but I don't
want to ruin the plastic handle bit.  Any BTDT?

Thanks!
