Hello Wolfgang, Thanks for the detailed explanation.
The \type{tex.dimen} function allows us to access the dimen register from \TEX\ in Lua.
A small correction: it's not a function, it really behaves like a table in Lua. You can use both the register number, or the symbolic name (as defined by \dimendef, if applicable), as a key to the table. Arthur
