getContents, getLine, etc.

1 Aug 2003

      Hello everyone,

I am currently writing a small program in Haskell, using Hugs under
Linux to run it. The program works in a conversation mode, a user issues a
lot of lengthy commands. However, backspace doesn't work, no matter which function
(getContents, getLine) I use, which makes debugging and normal work with 
the program a nightmare. Does anyone know any workaround (i.e. sensible
replacement to getLine) apart from switching to ghc and using the readline 
library?
