How do I actually use ghc in Windows (98)? When I installed Hugs, my .hs files got associated with Hugs and if I left-click on a .hs file I have various options to run with.

We don't do this with GHC.

So do I open a DOS box and invoke ghc or ghci? If so how, what do I have to change to get the path to point to ghc? I tried autoexec.bat but this seemed to have no effect.

You have to set PATH as usual (I presume that is in autoexec.bat on Windows '98).

Also, how do I tell ghci where to find packages?

I suspect this problem has more to do with the bug in ghci.exe (see the fixed version posted by Sigbjorn; I'll be uploading a fixed InstallShield as soon as I can fix one or two other serious problems) than any error in your command line, which looks fine. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | violence, n. bravery for cowards
