I've tried modellers, Moray twice each time for about two days, but couldn't 
get to grips with it,  and I've tried Spatch twice and read all the tutorials
but those lines on the screen just confuse me.  My hat's off to those who
have such an ability with modellers.  

So it's hand code for me all the way.
