[Haskell-beginners] Re: Maximum length of a GHCi command?

[Kwanghoon Choi]

Thank you all for your replies.
I am using Ubuntu and Emacs GTK+ Version 2.12.9. Nothing else is used by me.
My tool is just a Haskell program, and I load it using GHCi to run.

Is the emacs that limits the length of the command then?

Best regards,

Kwanghoon
