WinHugs beta

Hi,

This is provided by TextPad, see their FAQ for workarounds, you
probably have Outlook 2000 in workgroup mode or Lotus Notes. If you
manually edit the editor command to "C:\Program Files\TextPad
4\TextPad.exe -s %s(%d)" (select custom under editors), it should work
again. I think this is the best solution (not sure why dde seems to be
prefered), so will fix this for the next beta. I haven't found a
command line flag reference for textpad, so have no idea what -s
does...

Yep, the old version of WinHugs did that, will patch it.


Regarding interact and getLine, the behaviour is unchanged from
previous versions of WinHugs, and Hugs on Windows. However, older
versions on Solaris do echo the input. Looking at GHCi, it echos by
line, not by character. If someone gives me a spec, or at least a hint
as to what the right behaviour is I will implement it :)

Thanks - thats at least 2 genuine bugs and one bizare behaviour identified!
