Help with Lua

I am just starting out with lua, and due to frustration I am NOT IN A RATIONAL MOOD. I am tryin to run the lua program by creating script.cmd, but when I double-click it it just brings up notepad.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

I am using the tutorials from evilmana

ditto, hmmm, nice signature.:)

i have the seame problem.

ok you write this in note pad luaplayer

whateveryourluascriptnameis.lua
pause

and save it in the lua player windows folder

the thing is when I double click it like evilmana says, it doesnt start the engine

note pad? what note pad?

the text document

Chances are that you have named the file
XXXX.cmd.txt
but since windows likes to hide extensions by defualt, you can't see .txt.

Go to:
Tools->Folder Options->View
and uncheck "Hide Extensions for known filetypes"

Click Apply, then Apply to All folders then OK.

In the batch file, it should be:

luaplayer NameOfLuaScript.lua
pause

are you talking about that white square with a blue line on top? if you are, when i double click on it it apears for less then half a second, and then desapears.

i don't have any files named XXXX.cmd.txt
