winhugs window disappears

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi there,

did you perchance upgrade to XP in that period? The upgrader/installer
for XP doesn't quite manage to correctly convert the user-specific
Registry options for Hugs.

Even if that's not the case, the underlying problem is most likely Registry
related. http://galois.com/~sof/hugs/PowerToys.html  has got a utility
for resetting the user-specific Hugs :settings. I believe (and hope) that
it will get you going again.

(For the 'regedit' savvy, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Haskell\Hugs\
contains the keys that the 'restore' utility will delete Options values
from.)
