I figured there was an easier way...and I noticed that some of the other 
guys pointed this out. In my defense, I read the following from the WIA 
book: "The cmd argument is the wxPython identifier of the menu item 
which triggers its command event when the accelerator is invoked" on 
page 310, so I assumed (incorrectly) that a menu needed to exist too.

Sorry for perpetuating my misinterpretation.
