Thank you Cinisajoy for the links.
However, I cannot figure out how to use the Kindle Menu without KUAL. I'm must be missing something somewhere. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you.

The "Kindle Menu" is an alternative to KUAL.
but I see now that she ships it with the 'finger slide on top bar' access disabled, and as-shipped, you need KUAL to activate the option (not needed to use the menu once set).
My only excuse is that it was nearly three years ago.

We have a lot of people here that can modify existing shell scripts.
Here is where to find the pieces -
First, follow her directions for installation.
She uses the same format control files that KUAL does (by design).
Follow the directory tree just installed, find the script that enables the 'top bar finger slide' option.
Make notes.
Take big breath and go down the path of finding how that will be called without KUAL working . . . .
Instead of using KUAL, steal the ;log search bar command to run her option control script.
Go to this post to see how to install a script that gets run by the search bar ;log command:

The name of the script run by entering ;log is fixed by the internal, Amazon firmware, you can't change the name.
But you can write a script of that name which will simply 'exec' her option script.
Once someone creates that little bit of 'glue code', all that has to happen is those for command line commands to install it.
Which means either you have to install USBnetworking to get to the command shell -
or
Someone has to re-package her menu archive, the 'glue code', and a script to do the installation as an update_*.bin package.
KindleTool in NiLuJe's snapshots thread is the utility that handles creation of the update_*.bin packages (we use the same format for the packages that Amazon does).
This is all basic "Kindle Hacking 101" - all well documented here.
Plus there are people who can help you, even people who could do it in their sleep.
(I can't, I haven't slept for a week.)
Start a thread for the purpose, with a link to this post, ask for any help you need in that thread.
Somebody will help you - because having a 'menu launcher' is critical to all of the things this site provides.
