Hi Mike Williams, you wrote:

Sorry, I should have said that I saw in the FAQ how to complete this, I 
just couldn't understand the mathematical side of it.    What I want to 
do is understand the basics of the movement so I could modify it.  I'll 
admit that this sort of mathematics was what I hated at school so I 
didn't pay much attention (all those years ago, if I'd only have known 
how useful it would be now!)

Aye, it's slightly elliptical.

Thanks for the info!
