'''
Quickly add a GUI to your script!

This simple script shows a 1-line-GUI addition to a typical Python command line script.

Previously this script accepted 1 parameter on the command line.  When executed, that
parameter is read into the variable fname.

The 1-line-GUI shows a form that allows the user to browse to find the filename. The GUI
stores the result in the variable fname, just like the command line parsing did.
