Under Unix, echoing is left to the OS. The usual OS setting is to echo by characters. I thought plain hugs running in a Windows console window did this too, but haven't checked. It doesn't.
How odd. I just tried plain hugs (both a mingw-compiled version and the VC-compiled one you sent me) from the explorer in NT4 and it worked as I'd hoped it would: Hugs> getLine >>= print hello "hello" i.e. it echoed each character as I typed it, and I was able to correct the input with backspace before hitting return. Same for interact.
