Help with Lua

[Shadowblind]

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

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.
