Then you seem to have successfully defined and returned a Lua table.

The Lua table has no entry tpos[1], which is consistent with how you
defined the table.  If you look at tpos['xx'] or another key you
defined, you should see a value.

try:

  for k,v in pairs(tpos) do
    print( tostring(k) .. " , " .. tostring(v) .. "\n"
  end

to see what's actually in the table.

Cheers!
