Every time I try to use [underscore] in an definition it says something like the symbol /017 is not recognised

Could that be \017, i.e. octal 17 (defined in ASCII as SI, whatever that may be)?

Any help suggestions?

Wild guess: Are your files using the same character set as your Haskell system is expecting? I know Windows pulls some occasional stunts with the character set (and occasionally lies about it), but I wasn't aware that it affected underscore. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
