i wrote a program that i am going to use to add a user to my network. i wrote it on a advanced computer cause i like advanced computers. but it would get to a line and just stop the program their when their clearly was a continuous line of coding after it. i put a function their and it went on. even sometimes parts of the write"" and print "" would not display properly and it sometimes would even load a peice of code like this:

-- it would go
write "-> "
x = io.read()
--then
write "would you like to register"
-- so it would show up like this

->
what would you like to register
--but it was supposed to run like this
write "would you like to register"
write "->"

please help me figure what is going on here!
