Hi there, sounds like you're having a hard time getting Hugs to behave the way you want it to. To make sure that we're not overlooking anything, could you go through the following steps & let us know what happened? 1. create the file Test.hs containing the following module Test where test = "Test.test" 2. In the folder you saved Test.hs, try double-clicking on Test.hs. All being well, the Hugs interpreter should start up & load in Test.hs -- try typing 'test' at the prompt. 3. If double-clicking on Test.hs didn't work, start up the Hugs interpreter as you normally do. Assuming you saved Test.hs in folder "c:\source\haskell", then do Prelude> :cd c:\source\haskell Prelude> :l Test.hs All being well, Test.hs should then load. Try typing 'test' at the prompt. 4. If the Hugs distribution you're using also comes with WinHugs, try starting it up instead. Load up Test.hs by selecting File-> Open & then navigating to the folder containing Test.hs. Try typing 'test' at the prompt after you've selected Test.hs and hit the OK button. 5. If none of the above attempts worked out, let us (== hugs-bugs@haskell.org) know exactly what went wrong & we'll try to help out some more. hope that helps, --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Widyaningsih" To: Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 20:23 Subject: Need help

Dear sir,

I'm a beginner in Haskell, i already bought a book about Haskell but unfortunetly it doesn't run well. My Haskell version is 1.4 and the prompt sign is prelude>, when i set the interpreter option, i made some mistake <i think>, i don't know how come my search pat setting become -P" {Hugs}\\lib;{Hugs}\\lib\\hugs;{hugs}\\lib\\exts; {hugs}\\lib\\win 32 "

before i change the setting of the interpreter,when i type :? or PutStr "Hello" it run well, except when i type square 2, there're an error message Error- unable to defined "square" But now after i change the interpreter option at search path, every command that i typed will display an error message eg: Prelude> putStr "Hello" Reading file "assessed": ERROR assessed - Unable to open file "assessed"

So what should i do ? i already try to change my search path to the current setting. My current search path setting is: -P"{Hugs}\\lib;{Hugs}\\lib\\hugs;{Hugs}\\lib\\win 32"

I alredy try to ctrl+c at the current setting and then ctrl+v at the search path setting but when i type :s, my search path setting will become: -P" {Hugs}\\lib;{Hugs}\\lib\\hugs;{hugs}\\lib\\exts; {hugs}\\lib\\win 32 " in my terminal display screen. And from that i know, that when i type \ on the search path, it'll display \\ on the current setting display <after i type :s on the terminal display>.

I will give you all my current setting to make it clear. Current settings: +fewuiA -stgl.qQkR -h250000 -p%s> -r$$ -c40 Search path : -P" {Hugs}\\lib;{Hugs}\\lib\\hugs;{Hugs}\\lib\\exts;{Hugs}\\li b\\win32 " Editor setting : -EC:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe Preprocessor : -F Compatibility : Haskell 98 (+98) Prelude>

Please, could you help me ? Thanks and looking forward for your answer.

Sincerely yours,

Shirley
