Look at the bottom bracket shell, forward of the chain stay bridge and you should find a threaded hole ( water bottle boss) This to anchor the cable end as you surmized, which allows the cable housing to push the derailers arm. I used to have my owners manual from 1992 950.... I know it has been covered in other threads.
