Ah, thanks! I knew it would probably be something simple like that

  Hi,

  If you want to keep your script running while interacting with a dialog,
then you must call iup.MainLoop. You can do it inside the script you open,
or you can do it after calling dofile.

Best,

Subject: lua + iup help
I'm using FreeBasic to make a lua script interpreter, and dynamically linking to iup with iuplua51.dll and iuplua51controls.dll. The way I have it now, when you start the interpreter it automatically loads a script called "main.lua"
The default main.lua that I will be packaging with the interpreter uses iup.filedlg to let the user select a lua script, which will the be run with dofile. This by itself works fine, however if I try to run any of the demo lua scripts from the iup package, although they do run and display the demo dialogs, the scripts immediately exit back to the main.lua script which pops up the open file dialog again. At this point, although the dialog created by the demo script is still on screen, it can't be interacted with at all. I tried adding a couple different types of loops to pause the script, but although adding them to the demo scripts kept them from returning back to main, I'm still unable to interact with the dialog created by the demo.
Can anyone tell me how to run a loop and still be able to use the created dialog? 

Here's the script I'm using for main.lua:

main_loop = true
main_open_dlg = iup.filedlg{dialogtype = "OPEN", title = "Run Lua Script", filter = "*.lua", filterinfo = "Lua Scripts", directory=exepath().."\\scripts", nochangedir = "NO"} 
while main_loop do
	main_open_dlg:popup (iup.CENTER, iup.CENTER)


	if main_open_dlg.status == "0" then
		if main_open_dlg.fileexist == "YES" then
			dofile(main_open_dlg.value)
		else
iup.Message("File does not exist!", main_open_dlg.value) 
		end
	elseif main_open_dlg.status == "-1" then
local main_quit = iup.Alarm("FB Lua", "No script selected, exit interpreter?" ,"Yes" ,"No") if main_quit == 1 then main_loop = false 
		end
	end
	
end
