NotePad is working fine. I the problem is that you are using DDEOPN32.EXE. I tried to associate .txt extension to TextPad and when I am opening any text file from Windows Explorer then it is working fine. From Tools/Folder Options menu in Windows Explorer you can see that it is launching TextPad directly through DDE. Some times ago I was using TextPad in this way and it was working fine. Unfortunately currently I can't remember the details. I think that you should use the DDE API directly. > > - In the module manager the "Add" button does nothing, or at least I > > don't know how to use it. > Ah, the module manager.

It was a long time since I used Hugs for the last time. Usually I am using GHC but I was curious to see how the new WinHugs looks like. The "Add" button should open a dialog where I should be able to select a new Haskell module to load in Hugs. > > - Prelude.getLine function works but I can't see the characters which > > I am typing in. > This seems to be by design, and a feature of hugs, my supervisor > distributes a patch which changes this in the York uni copy of hugs. > If this is not intentional can someone please say and i'll happily > change the behaviour.
