Hi,
I just created a module for lua 5.1.
It is an interactive shell that can be used with debug.debug() or when
lua is in interactive mode. Its purpose is to easily know the structure
of tables.
In fact, it is like a unix shell where tables are folders and others
variables the files. To show you how ot works, there is a copy of a
session :
mildred@louve:~$ lua
