Hi,
One problem I've run into is that I need a way to portably handle Ctrl-C.
I do too, but that module has absolutely no documentation on the web (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/GHC-ConsoleHand ler.html), so rather unsurprisingly I missed that entirely!
Indeed. I had to browse the source after finding that the Haddock docs are essentially useless. I do have to say, one nice side effect of using darcs is that one can simply point one's browser at the source repository to peruse the code. I've bookmarked http://cvs.haskell.org/darcs :-)
I also need to raise Ctrl-C on a process I have started from Haskell, so if that could be also done in a portable way then I'd be happy :)
This is also an issue. I only need to handle the events, but I can certainly see the utility of generating them as well.
Thanks
Neil
