Thanks, that worked. All my events are successfully handled now.

I passed a simple "function () print ("Here") end" to this, and it does get
called - but only once, as far as I can tell? And StartMessageLoop doesn't
seem to return to my script.

I'm not familiar enough with the LUA C API to make much progress here; I can
look at the code but I don't know what it does or how to modify it.
