Re: IUP 2.3 and Lua 5.0.2

["R. Frazier" <rtdoger@...>]

Thanks!  I got the script working with the following changes:

ok_button = iup.button { title = "Ok", bgcolor = WHITE }
cancel_button = iup.button { title = "Cancel", bgcolor = WHITE }
dialog = iup.dialog { ok_button, cancel_button; title = "Confirmation", }
dialog:show()

I did read these docs:
iup2_3.chm

And you do have examples, but these are examples on the C coding side.  I 
could not
find any examples how to initialize and load a scripted IUP file using Lua 
5.0.2.

For example, if you do a search for the function iuplua_dofile(), there are 
absolutely
no example references found.

I would like to see docs on how to initialize a scripted IUP file using Lua 
5.0.2,
using the function iuplua_dofile().  I would like to see comments for each 
line,
explaining why it is needed, and explaining why the order of initialization 
is
important.  I'm really interested in the big picture.
