Great! I found loadstring in lua 5.0 is was using 4.0. I think I have to 
upgrade. :-)

But there's a new question. How can I pass arguments to a function I 
created using loadstring?

Yes, I will definitely start using the registry. With loadstring and the 
registry I don't have to do any hacks, like "return function".

Thanks a lot. I think this is now the proper way.
