Exits program (without an error) [solved]

http://pastebin.com/gQqHpW5m

It exits the program(at line 78 and 97) and returns to the shell.I'm guessing it's a problem with the variables.
It does not error it just stops because of the if statements.

Atleast tell us where it exits…

It exits near the if statements.Sorry about that (line 78 and 97).

I tried turning the local variables into global variables and it worked.Do i have to have global variables?

Provided the variable is defined in another script and you use shell.run to execute this one, then yes you do.

Learn how to use locals properly and also learn to use elseif/else

local select -- Make this local here instead so you can use it later
while true do
	local event, button, X, Y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
	local XY = X..","..Y
	if XY=="1,8" then
		select="add" -- You can't localize this here if you want to use it elsewhere, because then it will be local to this 'if' statement only
		break

	elseif XY=="1,9" then -- Use elseif instead
		select="remove" -- Same here, if you localize it here you can only use it in this 'if' statement
		break
	end
end

Looking on how you use locals I'll give a short explanation with some code

while true do
	local foo = "bar"
	break
end
print( foo ) -- foo = nil since it was localized in the 'while' loop

local foo = true
if foo then
	local bar = "Hello World!"
end
print( bar ) -- bar = nil since it was localized in the 'if' statement
