Excellent, thanks to your help think I've got there:


% while ( my $CustomField = $CustomFields->Next) {
<% loc($CustomField->Name) %>
% my $cfValues = 
$session{CurrentUser}->UserObj->CustomFieldValues($CustomField->Name);
<% 
$session{CurrentUser}->UserObj->FirstCustomFieldValue($CustomField->Name) %>
<br />
%  }
% }

The above code shows how I got the first value but also found I could 
get it with:

$session{CurrentUser}->UserObj->FirstCustomFieldValue($CustomField->Id)

or through a loop (which may help with future tasks):

% while ( my $cfValue = $cfValues->Next) {
<%$cfValue->Content %>
% }

Your help is very much appreciated.  Now, to figure out how to do a add 
a hidden custom field :-~
