Thank you Lawrence, Alan, and Danny,

The solution is embarrassingly obvious. It's been a long time since I've 
attempted any programming and I'd even forgotten that I needed a nested 
loop to access the cells in a two-dimensional array, or list. In this 
case I didn't need a two-dimensional array anyway.

I'd been away from home for five weeks and during a quiet period I 
installed QPython on my tablet with the aim of porting a programme that 
I'd written in C++ 15 years ago to Python. Cutting and pasting and even 
moving around the IDE turned out to be a truly frustrating exercise.

I wonder if it was just my clumsiness or if others have had the same 
experience?
