From your comments, I assume you're using ghci.  You can use the ":module" 
command to bring more modules into scope.  For example ":module +Data.Char" 
will bring the "Data.Char" module into scope.


$ ghci
   ___         ___ _
  / _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)
 / /_\// /_/ / /  | |      GHC Interactive, version 6.4.1, for Haskell 98.
/ /_\\/ __  / /___| |      http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
\____/\/ /_/\____/|_|      Type :? for help.

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :module +Data.Char
Prelude Data.Char> :t ord
ord :: Char -> Int
Prelude Data.Char> :q
Leaving GHCi.
