Hi, Alan. I've worked on the last example in many ways. The program
compiles without errors and shows a gui window, but nothing is ever
output to the window.
If you have experimented up to this point and found a method, can you
help me with an example.
I'll remind you that I'm embarrassed about being so novice about
classes, threads, signals, dispatchers and some of the other
terminology. But when I see something that works it'll be a learning
experience for me to learn the names and functions of the lines of text.
Please forgive me for being so verbose. I'm trying to be clear while at
the same time use as few words as possible.
Thanks!
