I've made many attempts to add a directory to the search path using :set -P using different strings such as -P: {Home}/Haskell and -P;"C:\Documents and Settings\Greg\My Documents\Haskell" All have worked during the current WInHugs session (Yes, I created the Home environment variable). When I look in the HKEY-CURRENT-USER registry, the information is saved in the option string: -s -t -g -G -l -. +q -Q -w -k -o -O +u -I -T -A +R -H +98 -h250000 -p"%s> " -r"$$" -P".:{Hugs}/libraries:{Hugs}/oldlib:{Hugs}/libraries/win32:{Home}/Haskell" -S".hs;.lhs" -E"C:\\Program Files\\UltraEdit\\UEDIT32.EXE" -c40 However, when I quit and restart WinHugs it only loads the default search path : -P.:{Hugs}/libraries:{Hugs}/oldlib:{Hugs}/libraries/win32 At this point I need to update the search path every time I start WinHugs. Does anyone have a helpful suggestion? I noticed some discussion back in 2001 about how easy/dangerous it was to change the registry but apparently nothing related to my particular issue. By the way my editor setting persists with no problem. On a possibly related note, the documentation states that the installer sets options in the HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE but when I checked those registry entries all I found were placeholders with no values set. Thank you for your assistance! --Greg Ballinger
