Need help

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi there,

sounds like you're having a hard time getting Hugs to behave
the way you want it to. To make sure that we're not
overlooking anything, could you go through the following
steps & let us know what happened?

1. create the file Test.hs containing the following

module Test where

test = "Test.test"

2. In the folder you saved Test.hs, try double-clicking
    on Test.hs. All being well, the Hugs interpreter should
    start up & load in Test.hs -- try typing 'test' at the
    prompt.

3. If double-clicking on Test.hs didn't work, start up the
    Hugs interpreter as you normally do. Assuming you saved
    Test.hs in folder "c:\source\haskell", then do

       Prelude> :cd c:\source\haskell
       Prelude> :l Test.hs

    All being well, Test.hs should then load. Try typing 'test' at
    the prompt.

4. If the Hugs distribution you're using also comes with WinHugs, try
    starting it up instead. Load up Test.hs by selecting File-> Open &
    then navigating to the folder containing Test.hs. Try typing 'test' at
    the prompt after you've selected Test.hs and hit the OK button.

5. If none of the above attempts worked out, let us (==
hugs-bugs@haskell.org)
    know exactly what went wrong & we'll try to help out some more.


hope that helps,
