How to make a wireless lua prompt

How to make a wireless lua prompt:

first: copy the base lua program and edit
to do this, simply run: "copy rom/programs/lua ./wlua"
now type edit wlua

second: locally overwrite read()
type in the following code at the very beginning:

local port = 1337	 //this is very important, it sets the port for the wireless execution, change 1337 to whatever number you want(has to be between 0 and 65535)
local modem = peripheral.find("modem")	 //this wraps the modem. you'll need this
modem.open(port)	 //this opens the previously mentioned port
local function read()	 //this is where we overwrite the read() function
local event,s,r,message,dis = os.pullEvent("modem_message")	 //this gets messages from the modem
if s == 1337 then	 //this makes sure you're on the 1337 channel to avoid errors
return message	 //tells the computer what do do
end	 //ends the if statement
end	 //ends the function

save and exit the editor.
now, for the sending side,

Sender:
create a file named wlua on the sender computer.
edit the file and type the following:

//start
local send = 1337     //sets the transmit channel, change this to the one in the first program
local rec = 137     //arguably useless
local tArgs = { ... }	 //grabs args for stuff
local modem = peripheral.find("modem") //looks for the modem, to send things
if #tArgs then print("to use wireless lua prompt, simply type 'wlua' ") //yells at you for arguing with it
else	 //else
while true do	 //loops it
local x = read()	// sets x to the given input
if  x ~= "end()" then	 //checks x for the end
modem.transmit(send,rec,x)	 //transmits your variable
else	 //else
modem.transmit(send,rec,'end()')	 //transmits the end
break end	 //breaks the loop and ends the IF statement
end	 //ends the other IF statement
end	 //ends the loop

EDIT:what i'm doing on this tutorial:
i'm overwriting the read() function with a custom function that allows me to transmit commands as a string
then, on the other computer i am transmitting the commands so that the host will execute them.
you don't need to include the comments in the code, i will put up a wlua pastebin link in the APIs and utilities
i'm sorry if this is more of a "how i did it" than a tutorial, but it's too late now

Can I just point out that anyone could transmit "shell.run'rm *'" on channel 1337 and mess up any host computer running this.

Also, the code is broken.

if not x == "end" then

Should be either

if not (x == "end") then

or

if x ~= "end" then

And if you actually want the program to stop then maybe try this:

if x == "end" then
	break
else
	-- transmit
end

At least you used locals though.

Edit: fixed forum derping the post.

You are correct.

Also, this isn't exactly a tutorial, in my opinion. Copy and pasting isn't really a tutorial, rather than just sharing your code. It'd be better if you explained this line by line, and explaining different modifications or things that can be added to each line.
