Yeah, sorry, that's probably my fault. My little Lua example was meant
to be a kind of pseudo-code, sorry. But I see that you already solved
the issue with Claude's help.

Btw. other than in Python or C, variables are global as default in Lua.
I also didn't include it in my "pseudo-code"  but instead of this:

>     cmd = "aspell -c " .. word
>     p = assert(io.popen(cmd))
>     result = p:read("*all")

you should declare variables as "local" like this: 

 local cmd = "aspell -c " .. word
 local p = assert(io.popen(cmd))
 local result = p:read("*all")

Sorry for adding confusion like this.

Ciao
