LUA STRING$

With this command, you can get a string from the LUA interface.
Global LUA strings are specified in a file simply by assigning quoted text (but also unquoted numbers are valid) to a named variable. e.g: nick = "Barnski"
After the file has been loaded by LUA, you can access this global string by using nick$=LUA STRING$("nick").

In addition to that, you can get a table field that holds a string out of a global, named table from the LUA interface.
You can even use this command to get a string field out of a nested table, like: "dad.child.name", where "dad" is the global table name, "child" a table field of "dad", and finally "name" the string table field of "child".
The syntax is the following: my_name$=LUA STRING$("dad.child.name")

You should check for errors after calling this command, since a file could easily have an error, or just a typo.
