Title: LUA: Editing the protocol column

Hello,

I'm working on developing a dissector with LUA, and so far all of the dissection has been fairly easy to make.  What I was wondering is if there was a way to take my LUA dissector, grab out a packet and change it in a way that wireshark will display the change, so that we can filter out the dissected packets.  It would be helpful to know if there's either a function path that I'm not seeing in the LUA API to change some of the packet information or else a way to filter based on dissected packets.

Thanks,
