One factor that is slightly unusual about this
phenomenon is that it only occurs with GHC, but not
with Hugs 98. Typing
:cd "D:\From C Drive\Documents and
Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming
Practice\Haskell\GHC"
in Hugs 98 does not cause an error, but typing the
same command in GHC does. It seems that Hugs 98
allows spaces in filenames/paths, but GHC doesn't.
Is there any way to configure GHC so that it accepts
the same type of filenames/paths as Hugs 98?

Please pardon this intrusion for an elementary question on setting the GHC search path.
I have installed GHC on my work Windows XP machine, and would like to be able to search for files in the following directory:
D:\From C Drive\Documents and Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming Practice\Haskell\GHC
However, when I type the following command into the GHC interpreter:
:cd "D:\From C Drive\Documents and Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming Practice\Haskell\GHC"
I get the following error message:
*** Exception: "D:\From C Drive\Documents and Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming Practice\Haskell\GHC": setCurrentDirectory: invalid argument (Invalid argument)
Yet, for testing purposes, when I type the following command:
:cd cygwin
I do not get any error message.
There seems to be a problem with the spaces in the filename. However, I would like to be able to use the "D:\From C Drive\Documents and Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming Practice\Haskell\GHC" directory for GHC programming practice, because I keep my practice work for my other programming languages in the same super-super-directory.
Does anybody know a way to specify "D:\From C Drive\Documents and Settings\DekuDekuplex\Programming Practice\Haskell\GHC" as a directory in the search path for GHC?
