Open your program in wxLua by calling.

$ wxLua -o program.lua

The Debug menu has items for executing and debugging it. To set
breakpoints click on the margin and red squares appear, be sure to put
them on code lines. Then click Debug->Start Debugging and a green
arrow appears on the line where the debugger is stopped. Press F11 to
step, click "View call stack" to view the stack and browse all
variables in Lua, you can also set watches to print variable values
(when they're in scope).
