There's probably better ways round this but my simple fix (which has
worked well for more than 5 years) is not to use

  :set -E
  :edit
  etc

I never really saw what using these commands bought you and you can
certainly use Haskell and Hugs very successfully without them.

[But other people find them very useful and can maybe suggest ways to
use them on Windows with XEmacs.]
