i am trying to make an OS but i want to know if there is a way to go to a certain line like the GOTO command in BASIC so i can simply cut back to the main menu of the OS

GOTO?? No please! :P/>/>

Use if, elseif and else:


if <condition> then
  -- code
end

if <condition> then
  -- code
else
  -- code
end

if <condition> then
  -- code
elseif <condition2> then
  -- code
end

And functions:


local function doSomething()
  -- code
end

doSomething()
