Sounds good so far..... From here, I think you do pretty much as in the
documentation - I found the section on "replicating your first database"
a good walk-through:

  http://www.slony.info/documentation/firstdb.html

I didn't do it with pgAdmin; instead, I wrote slonik scripts using the
ones in this example as templates, and it all worked fine. The only
difference for running on Windows is that instead of having separate
slons for each node, you have just one slon registered as a service (as
you've done), and then use the slon --addengine command to register each
node with the service. Once you've done that, restart the slon service
and cross your fingers! :-)
