Maybe I'll pose a question to the lua mailing list to see if they have any
suggestions about how to approach this.

Sorry about the delay in posting new source. I've uploaded the latest source
code at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/femm/files/femmsrc.zip I've also
replaced the patch files with a new self-installing executable of the latest at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/femm/files/setup.exe

I know several people who swear by PFE (see
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ ). It's freeware, but unfortunately
PFE is no longer being actively maintained by the author.

I use WinEdt (http://www.winedt.com/) to write LaTeX documents, but it would
also be a good candidate for a lua editor. It's shareware.
