Yes, I will start with that. I am also heavily into using wxLua in my 
system. So putting together a little GUI front-end might not be too hard.

Speaking of RemDebug: the versions I have seen expect you to do 
something like a require "remdebug" and then make a call to it at the 
start of you program. This makes no sense to me. Are there any Lua.exe 
versions that incorporate this (maybe using a -d flag on the command 
line or something)?
