I agree with Duncan. getHomeDirectory should follow the Windows API. There are other unix-style dot-config files in my Windows home folder as well. Ideally the ghci config file would be put into <AppData>\GHC\.

Because what Yitzchak Gale proposed and I seconded does not mean that getHomeDirectory will not "follow the Windows API", unless very specifically requested by setting HOME. Juanma
