Re: [Haskell-cafe] How can I stop GHCi from calling "show" for IO actions?

I've always wondered if ghc(i) --help should be a bit more instructive, or perhaps if there were a man page that lay somewhere between the --help message and the manual in terms of comprehensiveness. It's a pretty major jump from a short description of 4 command line options (only one of which I have ever used) to the entire manual, with a ~10 page table of contents.

Is there a way to make GHCi not print the result of an action but still make my variables get bound?

This seems to be a common question (I myself asked it recently), so I've added an entry to the GHCi page on the wiki.

Ideally, it would be nice if this were discoverable from within GHCi, but I'm not sure how this would best be done.
