    Just got the book and I'm typing in every example as I go.
I just got to page 17 and I'm down to the "Assigning Variables" section.  
In the book it looks like this...
> foo = 14
> print (foo)
14
> foo = "Hello!"
> print (foo)
Hello!

But when I type the commands into the WebLua interpreter it looks like this...
> foo = 14
No Output
> print (foo)
14
> foo = "Hello!"
No Output
> print (foo)
14

I can ignore the "No Output" lines, I understand it's just a warning from the interpreter.
But once I assign a variable, it sticks and can't be changed.
I thought it was because the variables were different types, but even trying to assign a different number to foo doesn't work.

P.S. I'm using Windows XP Pro, and IE7.

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, this was a really obscure bug with the way I'm handling persistence in the web-based Lua interpreter.  I was able to fix it thanks to your bug report, so please let me know if you run into any other issues.
