-    Make your own progress meter!  
-    Embed the meter right into your window
+    Manually Updated Test
+    Here is an example for when you want to "sprinkle" progress bar updates in multiple
+    places within your source code and you're not running an event loop.
+    Note that UpdateBar is special compared to other Update methods. It also refreshes
+    the containing window and checks for window closure events
+    The sleep calls are here only for demonstration purposes.  You should NOT be adding
+    these kinds of sleeps to a GUI based program normally.
