     DESIGN PATTERN - Multithreaded Long Tasks GUI using shared global variables
+    
     Presents one method for running long-running operations in a PySimpleGUI environment.
     The PySimpleGUI code, and thus the underlying GUI framework, runs as the primary, main thread
-    The "long work" is contained in the thread that is being started.
+    The "long work" is contained in the thread that is being started. Communicating is done (carefully) using global variables
 
-    The PySimpleGUI code is structured just like a typical PySimpleGUI program.  A layout defined,
-        a Window is created, and an event loop is executed.
+    There are 2 ways "progress" is being reported to the user. If a the amount of time is known ahead of time and
+    the work can be broek down into countable units, then a progress bar is used.  If a task is one long chunk
+    of time that cannot be broken down into smaller units, then an animated GIF is shown that spins as
+    long as the task is running.
