Thanks for the quick response.  Reading the book "Rapid GUI programming with 
Python and QT"  in the section "Signals and Slots" (page 127) the author 
starts the section by stating:
"Every GUI library provides the details of events that take place ..."

So I gathered that SIGNALS were events.   Apparently, I did not understand 
completely.  Could you take a little more time and explain why they are not.  
There is more to read - chapters 10 and 11 are suppose to get deeper into the 
SIGNALS and SLOTS.  

Still would like to know where I can see a list of SIGNALS?
