[Haskell-beginners] parse error on input

[John Moore]

Hi,
    Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong. I'm learning Haskell using the
book real world haskell. It tells me to load programs and update cabal using
'$' symbol but everytime I enter it tells me parse error on input '$'. The
programs are taken from the book so there nothing wrong with them.What amI
misssing?

Regards

John
