Ok I got the GUI to run anyway I got a warning the Braille system was not 
working. I now would like to address the human interface issue which is always 
my strong point anyway. 

1. Why are all the menu items one word with imbedded uppercase letters? For 
example EmbossNow rather than Emboss Now

2. Menu items should never have punctuation in them.

3. Can I assume that menu items will have command keys as well such as command 
O for open?

4. Similar commands should be grouped with separator line between groups.

I would be more than happy to go through the interface and clean up these 
issues if someone could tell me how..
