Dog on a bike

Ok I snapped a spoke on my rear wheel, non-drive side. I've decided to be brave and try to repair it myself. What do I need to know? At the moment I know that I have an Open Pro rim with a 36 spoke 105 hub and the spokes are black. It's a racing bike so a 700 wheel. What else am I likely to need to know to be able to buy a spoke?
I know the theory of fitting the spoke. I've loosened the two spokes either side of the broken one to allow the wheel to spin freely and get me home. So I tighten these back up, put new spoke in and tighten until wheel is straight. Any other advice??
