Thanks Garrett. I deleted the Haskell Platform installation, manually removed all traces of GHC and the Hakell Platform from my registry and various folders, then re-installed the Haskell Platform. I created a folder under the 'C:\' drive, copied my .hs files there, changed to that subfolder started ghci. The file loaded without error. This seems like a problem the developers might address in the next release?
Thanks again for the help. ~Caitlin On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 12:53 PM, J.
