[Haskell-beginners] gnuplot problem in ghci

[Scott N. Walck]

Brandon,

Yes, that looks like what is happening.  Here are before and after
a graphics command.

$ stty -a </dev/pts/1 | grep icanon
isig -icanon iexten -echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt
$ stty -a </dev/pts/1 | grep icanon
isig icanon iexten -echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt

Thanks,

Scott
