[photoshop-beginners] PS CS4 - How to extend the tail of a text letter

I am trying to make a logo and want to extend the end of the last letter. I assume I need to make it into a path - which I did - but I got a skinny line rather than a line that matches the thickness of the letter. (Of course, the end of the letter fades to a thin line in the end.) How can I do this?
