the background was still the Lua (that chosing program thing..) so you couldn't see the writing so well..
and then when i tried the backgruond thing it should me an error:
Error: index.lua:1: Image.load: Error loading image.

for a background get a pic the size of the screen and say
background = Image.load("images/background.jpg")
then say
screen:blit(0, 0, background)
and you also have to say
screen.flip()
and to make it stay on
screen.waitVblankStart(a number here)
