I added the source command, and I used the globalProc within the

globalproc encapsulate the entire script ?
No
The first globalProc in the script is called rotateProjection, if
I execute rotateProjection, I get the typical /Cannot find
Procedure/ error ?
Strange. Seems like the script wasn't successfully sourced.
The script is written badly. It has loose code in the global scope of
the file, at the bottom. Just that loose code should be encapsulated
in a global proc. If it is named the same as the file, Maya will
execute it automatically if you put it in the scripts location. This
would probably be bad since it launches a gui. So it needs a global
proc name that doesn't match the file name.

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.
