-Scripts can use Python or bundled Lua 5.4.9. Choose a ''.py'' or ''.lua'' file in **Script → Run**; logon scripts, saved script commands and ''--script'' also accept both. Use **Script → Cancel** to stop the current tab’s worker. Script errors appear in the Activity pane. The [[https://retro.theiguru.au/lantern-terminal/docs/LUA-SCRIPTING.md|Lua scripting guide]] includes its syntax and API reference.
