helpText = """
KListWidget and KComboBox are useful for displaying or
interacting with lists of items. In this case, we
display the KStandardDirs file types and directory
locations.

KComboBox is filled from the QStringList that the
method "allTypes()" returns. It can also be filled
with a single item at a time, and we can sort or
add/remove items later. KDE has specialized KComboBox
subclasses for other purposes. It inherits methods
from QComboBox

KListWidget also displays lists of information, but all
are visible at the same time. It inherits classes
from QListWidget and QListView.
