Well, lack of of a meaningful file/folder browser in Lua 5.x seems to go hand-in-hand with Love not supporting anything of the kind. Apparently you can tunnel through some browser program with os.execute, but that's pretty hacky, not to mention way above my level. There are a lot of ways you can go ...

Yeah, that works pretty well. Problem being there's not really going to be any native GUI for what I have planned: it's less a bunch of menus and more spawned boxes you drag around and link together in a hierarchy.

The Lua documentation has information about file I/O: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.7 Yep, I've tried it, but since it always returned nil I instantly assumed it didn't work (rather than blame my own incompetence). Does it really work? EDIT: Yep, it works! Thanks! Now I just need to f...

That's a start, thanks! I assume there's a hack around the limitations then? If there's anything better suited for this kind of stuff, that'd be great to hear too. I only barely qualify as a script kiddie - but sometimes if you want to have something done, you have to do it yourself - so I'm looking...
