Thanks for your assistance. I'm using now Notepad.exe . Before I did it in Wordpad. I use Windows XP. I'm trying to solve this nasty problem

WordPad probably saved your file in RTF rather than TXT. Keep using Notepad for now, but you really should find yourself a decent programmer's editor - I use Emacs, but maybe some Windows people can recommend what they use on that platform. Also, if you want more helpful error messages, use GHC rather than Hugs. HTH. --KW 8-)
