Use C-c C-l to load the file into GHCi. This is better than just compiling it: you get an interactive environment in which to play around with, test out functions, etc. You can still 'run' your program by typing 'main' in GHCi. > - There seems to be support for "Haskell Font Lock Symbols", which should > convert \, -> and maybe other symbols to good looking Unicode fonts.

I wouldn't be surprised if this code had bit-rotted, or if there never has been Windows support. It's a corner function, used by few and therefore not that polished. By all means, try it out, and if it doesn't work, feel free to submit patches, but I doubt it'll get changed any time soon by a haskell-mode developer :) -- -David House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
