$ lua test.lua

Hi people,
I'm trying to write a simple program in Lua, but it's getting hard
for me
to work with data input from keyboard. I've tryed to use de function
"read()" but I always get the following message:
../lua-5.0/bin/lua: teste.lua:2: attempt to call global `readfrom' (a
nil
value)
stack traceback:
teste.lua:2: in main chunk
[C]: ?
