Hi, 

I am trying to run this basic multiline code in GHCi. I am not sure if this is even possible without writing it in a file and compiling it in a traditional way. 

-------

Prelude> :set +m

Prelude> let main1 = do

Prelude|             a <- readLn

Prelude|             return a

Prelude|

Prelude>

Prelude> main1

<interactive>:75:1:

    No instance for (Show (IO b0)) arising from a use of `print'

    In the first argument of `print', namely `it'

    In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it

-------

Could someone please confirm if the function can be defined and called like this in GHCi or point to where am going wrong.

Thanks,

Shishir Srivastava
