WordPad probably saved your file in RTF rather than TXT.  Keep using 
Notepad for now, but you really should find yourself a decent 
programmer's editor - I use Emacs, but maybe some Windows people can 
recommend what they use on that platform.

Also, if you want more helpful error messages, use GHC rather than Hugs.

HTH.
