Newbie Questions

["Aaron" <aaronhannah@...>]

Could someone please point me in the direction of a place to find
information about embedding Lua in a C application?  What I've been able
to unearth so far via the websites I've visited haven't given me what
I'm looking for.  What I'm looking for specifically is how to read data
from a Lua script into a C application (use the Lua script as a resource
file so to speak).  More specifically I'd like to write a Zork like game
using the Lua script as a data file, as a means to teach myself how to
use Lua.

Can any one help?

It would be much appreciated, so thank you in advance!
