How odd.  I just tried plain hugs (both a mingw-compiled version and the
VC-compiled one you sent me) from the explorer in NT4 and it worked as
I'd hoped it would:

	Hugs> getLine >>= print
	hello
	"hello"

i.e. it echoed each character as I typed it, and I was able to correct
the input with backspace before hitting return.  Same for interact.
