I use Moray.  But I 90% go back into the script file and
hand-tweek it.  I'm interested in quicker modeling using the
scripts Moray outputs so I can get to animating faster, but that
is my personal approach- others like to hand-code their
animations.  I like to write little bits of code to help automate
certain tedious tasks for me.

Your idea with M. in grey boxes would be fine to me, but
consider: Moray comes with some extensive Docs of its own, and I
can't see why a book should tutor people on any of the same
material already covered by the tutorials that come with Moray. 
A tips and *undocumented* tricks approach to covering Moray would
be more interesting to me.
