So given the relatively small scope of this additional work, maybe it
should be an additional "stretch" goal to be added to your project.
Once the student(s) have gone through the trouble to familiarize
themselves with the monitor code, they would be well-positioned to
complete this extra bit.  How difficult do you imagine it will be to
convert the remaining commands over to QObject?
