It's safe to assume that people have tried to help answer your questions,
and have since probably give up on this particular thread.
Your script has code located in the global scope that is going to run every
time it is sourced. that means if you source this script manually, it would
launch a gui. I never wrote much MEL from scratch, but I believe this is
bad practice. If I remember correctly, if you name a global proc the same
as the file name, Maya will call it when it sources the script at startup.
Otherwise you can/should just have one or more global procs that you want
someone to call from MEL, to launch your tool or command.
What goal do you want to achieve here? I don't know what this file is
called but it probably doesn't matter because it assumes you will source
it to get it to launch the GUI. Look up the "source" Mel command.
Or... place this thread in the trash as you suggested, if this still
doesn't solve your issue.

Have you checked the file and confirmed that it has a global proc that can
be called?
