# Adds Remote to the Window menu of Motionbuilder. This is used to launch the q_telnet_client subprocess that
# connects to the arduino remote and routes input back to Motionbuilder. It uses subprocess to prevent blocking
# the Motionbuilder interface.
# Also adds Reload Remote to the Window menu. This is allows us to update the MoBoReceiver code without 
# restarting Motionbuilder.
