    There is no direct way at the moment to kill a running script. It would be
    quite easy to add 'a simple hack' to kill scripts but I think this would
    result in memory leaks. The lua stack should be unwound properly which is
    down really to the lua side of things.

    I had started adding code to the preprocessor, when i was playing with the
    code, to start scripts but I just added the framework to the preprocessor. I
    cannot remember if Dave M took it any further, but if not it is partialy
    implimented.

    (I can finish it off if you want Dave, have you got the source code for the
    last lua release as I believe you just posted a binary patch)

    I looked at a prog called EditPlus but it was shareware (it did very similar
    things) to what you describe.

    Dave,

    Just a couple of thoughts -

    Is there any way of stopping a running script before its normal termination
    other than killing the process with control-alt-delete?

    Would it be possible to start FEMME, the preprocessor that is, from a
    command line with the lua script name passed as a parameter in the same was
    FEMMVIEW does.

    I have been using rather a nice editor called ConTEXT to edit lua scripts
    and this allows links to what would normally be used for a compiler (I know
    of several other editors which allow this but ConTEXT seems to be the best
    - for me anyway). If FEMME could be run in this way then it would be
    possible to develop scripts directly in the editor environment. Until one
    of us gets around to writing a proper script editor (and it is unlikely to
    be me - until I retire that is!) this might be an good way of working.

    ConTEXT allows code templates and context highlighting to be defined quite
    easily for lua and is available free at http://www.fixedsys.com/context/.

    Keith.
