Load lua and run from lua code

[tobor]

Is it possible to load a lua file while running lua code and then run the file?

Something like the XMODEM recv at the prompt only while in lua to receive and then run the new lua code?

If you specifically need to receive the code via xmodem you will also
need a Lua version of xmodem, such as

I am actually going to load some lua from a file on a ftp site, should I just read the contents into an array and then use loadstring to execute it?
