Thank you for setting me straight. I misunderstood the documentation
in the 5.1 manual. So in its example:

"To load and run a given string, use the idiom

     assert(loadstring(s))()

... the execution is performed by the callback?

Sorry for the questions but my programming skills are not that far
beyond "Hello, World."

Best regards,
