Greg,

Apparently liblouisutdml is still having trouble finding all its 
dependencies. That is why you got the error lmessage.

The problems with the menus will be cleared up when the 
internationalization feature is working. What you are seeing is the keys 
that will eventually trigger text in various languages. I want to know 
if others want separators or consider them a bother. 

Thanks for testing. I'll have another version up  on Monday.

John
