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.
