Does the manual tell you how to use co-routines from c++, or multiple
states?  You know it doesn't matter,
I don't want to argue this, I have more important things to do.  I browsed
through the manual, and couldn't find much regarding how to set things up
from the c++ side, how to set up the threads from app, etc.  You don't have
to flame me, I was frustrated ok, everything I read was how to set them up
from lua side of things, thats all.  And yes I'm a beginner, and don't much
about lua, and how to use it, so don't flame me if you are a master at it,
because you being a master and knowing it .. helps me none.
