 Hi Haskell Team,
 if i set my editor to ":set editor emacs &" and - say- want to edit my
 aaa.hs file , I enter ":edit aaa.hs", the ghci console answers: "/bin/sh:
 a.hs: not found", instead of opening emacs asynchronously. (":set editor
 nohup emacs" does not help either)
 then while editing emacs even i can enter commands ? into ghci, but they
 are not performed at all. GHCi's work goes on not before I close emacs.
 help is appreciated,
 Hape - Novice ;-)
