As far as I can see Lua itself does not use the underscore except when it's adding things like "lua" to the front of commands which are used for the application program interface. The normal lua commands, those which are not FEMM specific but that are likely to be used in scripts, are simple compounds such as openfile(), closefile(), readfrom(), writeto() etc. In my view it is sensible to keep this convention so that all script commands are the same, i.e. no underscore.`
