Hi there,

I have recently started using Hugs 98 for Windows (previously was using =
the MSDOS version). In general it works fine and contains lots of useful =
features. However, in contrast to the MSDOS version, if I associate .hs =
files with hugs98 for windows, and then attempt to open them directly =
(double-clicking on the script file) then it fails with an error such as =
:

ERROR ""C:\HaskellProject\HaskellProject(alex-new).hs"": Unable to open =
file=20
""C:\HaskellProject\HaskellProject(alex-new).hs"" =20

It seems that for some reason the filename gains two sets of double =
quotes which makes it unreadable. I can only guess that Windows supplies =
one set with its file-passing convention, and hugs supplies the other.

Interestingly, I can still edit the file (even from the hugs prompt), as =
WordPad accepts the filename correctly. But any attempt to load it at =
the hugs prompt fails, and I have to remove it from the script manager =
and then add it manually. In the script manager the filename has a =
single set of double quotes, which script files (e.g. the prelude) do =
not normally have here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Alex Summers
