This program seems to have been written in Lua . . .

Has anyone used or experimented with Lua - it is a scripting language available as a Pupget . . .

Cool

Yep, lua-4.01 is a pupget, but that version is very old and the Lua language has changed somewhat since then.

I don't know it - but it is a fast scripted or interpreted language

very elegant

try version 4 online - hey only 100k to download . . .
http://doris.sourceforge.net/lua/weblua.php

Here is some example code I am working on
(I prefer to use the language - pah - why should I have to learn it) Embarassed

you create a text file called for example
welcome.lua
and call it by typing lua welcome.lua

in the welcome.lua test file below

Code:
 index = [[
     
         Press Number
   
            1 Welcome
            2 Strings
            3 Numbers
            4 Calling C

         ]]

    print  (index)



[code]if line == "1" then
 dofile ("welcome.lua") ; line = io.read() ; dofile ("index.lua")
elseif line == "2" then
 dofile ("strings.lua")
elseif line == "3" then
 dofile ("numbers.lua")
elseif line == "4" then
 dofile ("callingc.lua")
end[/code]



this makes index print on screen the data betwwen [[ and ]]

Code:
index = [[
     
         Press Number
   
            1 Welcome
            2 Strings
            3 Numbers
            4 Calling C
         ]]


a comment -- read a line
starts with two --

many commands on one line are separated by ;
