Unable to start WinHugs

I recently upgraded from WinME to WinXP, and in doing so, I discovered that I can't start up WinHugs anymore. Whevever I try to do so, the Hugs interpreter window shows up as normal, but with: ERROR - Illegal character escape sequence "\W" . A Hugs popup shows up: FATAL ERROR: Unable to locate prelude. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hugs (I'm using the 12/01 version) but to no avail. I hope the info provided will help you resolve what's wrong and let me run WinHugs again. If you need any more info, please feel free to contact me via this email address.
