Sibylle,

   Yes, that is the book. Where it appears to not answer my questions is the
list of sequential steps on page 209. I've tried following those steps but
have not obtained the expected results. Perhaps due to my infamiliarity of
PyQt5.

   That's good to know, but I'm far from this step now. I need to develop the
UI then set all the signals; learning one piece at a time.
