I appreciate the feedback.  This the first thing I've ever done in Lua, so
I know there is a lot I need to learn and improve upon.

But it appears that the Lua interpreter is throwing the error before it
ever gets to the point of running any of my code.  At least that is the
error I'm getting in Win7.  What error did you get when you ran it in Linux?
