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?
