[JW Lua] Using library functions in Console

[Robert Patterson]

As you mentioned, a little-known Windows fact is that you can use "/" in
file paths, at least inside programs. (I'm not sure about the command line,
since it uses "/" for options, which is why we have "\" to begin with.) I
worked professionally on DOS and Windows systems for nearly 30 years and
never knew it until a year or so ago.

When you run a script in the Console, it should run in the identical
environment that it would run from a menu. You should not need to set
anything up differently. Let me know if that was not your experience.
