I agree the documentation can use improvement.

BASE_* refers to the C enumeration on which the Lua constants are based:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/proto.h?revision=40306&view=markup#l295

Same goes for FT_*:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/ftypes/ftypes.h?revision=38916&view=markup#l33

Neither of these prefixes are used in Lua. One would use: base.DEC, base.HEX,
ftypes.NONE, ftypes.UINT8, etc. See init.lua for the full listing.

I started a LuaAPI Wiki page (http://wiki.wireshark.org/LuaAPI) in an attempt
to offer "better" documentation, but I haven't touched it in a while. Feel free
to update the Wiki.
