I agree.  The function of Rem Doubles is not at all obvious to a new user.  My initial 
reaction was "What the heck is Rem?!" Of course I also wondered, "What the heck is a 
double"?!  ; )

Personally I feel "merge" is a much more easy to understand and obvious description 
than either "weld" or "Rem Doubles".

While talking about button labels, what's the basis behind "centre" as opposed to 
"center"?  In the US "center" is the common spelling.  I am guessing "centre" is the UK 
spelling.  Which is more globally accepted I wonder?  I mean it's not too big of a deal, 
you obviously will understand what it is talking about.
