You can call other lua scripts from within a lua script using the dofile
command in lua, e.g.:

dofile("some_other_script.lua")

Rather than load the other scripts separately, you'd just place a few dofile calls at the beginning of your main script.

It is also possible to run the pre-processor with a "default" lua script
calling the preprocessor with the command line:

femme -lua-script=c:\\temp\\junk.lua

where you'd insert the path to whatever lua script you want to run instead
of c:\\temp\\junk.lua

You can modify the shortcut to femme in your start menu by opening the properties
for the shortcut and changing the "target" line to:

"C:\Program Files\femm32\bin\femme.exe"
-lua-script=c:\\temp\\junk.lua

with the exact path names depending on where you have placed your installation
and default lua script.

Dave.
