Are you running the ‘Corona Simulator’ application or ‘simulator’? Corona Simulator.app has no output. If you run ‘simulator’ from the terminal you should get the following error:

Script error: /Users/testuser/Scratch/main.lua:1: attempt to index global 'home' (a nil value)  
stack traceback:  
 [C]: ?  
 /Users/testuser/Scratch/main.lua:1: in main chunk

If you are using ‘simulator’ then its possible you have an older sdk release. The versioning can be a little confusing, so go by date. The latest SDK release was 8/21. [import]uid: 5 topic_id: 163 reply_id: 152[/import]
