Description
#3360initial request deniedInput_Display.luacrashes with NullHawk on NLua+KopiLua and new KeraLua engine. Something about arithmetic on non-numbers.
I recall some other scripts no longer working in recent versions as well.
It would be beneficial to new scripters using these as examples if they were all formatted consistently and had comments.

Research direction
Start with the bundled Input_Display.lua script and investigate the reported arithmetic-on-non-numbers crash under NullHawk with NLua, KopiLua, and the newer KeraLua engine. Review the other bundled scripts for similar failures and inconsistent formatting or missing comments; done means the reported issues are addressed and the examples are consistently documented.
