This is not a bug but a feature :-), as whatever you type is passed onto
the MacOS routines for interpretation.
I think that the MacOS rules are that if you access a file in the working
directory, then the leading ":" is not needed, but if you access a file in
another directory, then it must always included.
I tried
:l foo
for a file "foo.hs" in the working directory (where the Hugs program is
started up), and it worked.
So if it works on my Mac, but not on yours, it is perhaps because we have
different MacOS versions (I use 7.5.3).
