The problem with your statement above is that there's no comma between 
Aim and  B1re.  If you put in the comma, it will work OK.

I find it a drag to work directly with getpointvalues.  I usually write 
functions in the beginning of Lua scripts like:

function getB(x,y)
Are,Aim,B1re,B1im,B2re= getpointvalues(x,y)
return B1re,B2re
end

so that I can call a function that returns just the quantities that I'm 
interested in for the purposes of that particular script. 

I've added functions like mo_getb(x,y), mo_geth(x,y), and so forth, to 
the Matlab and Mathematica interfaces to FEMM, but these aren't standard 
functions in straight Lua implementation.
